This paper indicates that the adverse effects of IMF programs are concentrated on labor and the poor. In order to present a non-random sampling of data, the author employs regression analysis and distinguishes between the effects of IMF programs and the differences in country conditions. He concludes that IMF programs tend to lower economic growth and that governments under IMF economic reform programs structure these reforms such that labor is hit harder than capital.
