Poverty trap

Hello,

please could you tell me what is the correct word choice in the sentence below. My book says the correct answer is 'snare', but I think 'trap' would be even a more common collocation. Thank you.

It is the most challenging task for the international giants nowadays to help the poor populations get out of the poverty trap.
