Answer:The exosystem

Explanation:The exosystem is the third level of Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. The exosystem refers to those events that affect someone indirectly eventhough they may not be actively participating in those events or settings.

Exosystem to a child can be something like a parent losing a job or losing someone closer to them.

Government for example can affect someone eventhough they may affect someone indirectly such as laws and regulations changes a government makes to influence the economy and in return these influences one's job and socioeconomical status.
