GLOBAL DEBT IS SQUEEZING DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
.
Many developing countries are facing a difficult choice: pay their debts or invest in people. As borrowing costs rise, governments have less money available for schools, hospitals, and essential public services.
.

.
If this pressure continues, what will it mean for the next generation? Should wealthy nations do more to help developing countries manage their debt?
