The World Bank and IMF are two of the most powerful players in the world, who, by providing aid and loans to poor countries, can
dictate a country’s economic policies. These policy reforms conditioned in exchange for aid force poor countries to reduce social
spending in education and health system resulting in an increase in child labor. Poor countries trapped in a cycle of debt owed to the
World Bank and IMF are also forced to further reduce social spending.
