Original Abstract

Middle-income trap is a problem that affects a large number of countries, especially in South America, Africa and East Asia. The causes of this problem are multiple, whereas common characteristics of these countries are the lack of innovation and research & development that makes them unable to compete with the more advanced high-income countries, while at the same time increasing labour costs, which make these countries lose competitiveness against low-income countries. The scientific aim of the article is to point out the possible benefits that these countries could achieve through the incorporation and systematic promotion of Creative industries. Methodologically, the article is based on a literature review of relevant scientific articles in the field of the Middle-income trap and Creative industries. Based on this research, the underlying problems of countries caught in the Middle-income trap were identified. These main shortcomings were then contrasted with the benefits that the Creative industries could deliver. As a result, the paper is an attempt at filling the research gap by pointing out that Creative industries have the potential to significantly counterbalance the difficulties that these countries are challenged with, particularly in terms of innovation, research and development, improving employment and raising the standard of living of their citizens.
