Low inflation can be achieved by increasing
interest rates to tempt people to save more and
also by increasing taxes to reduce peoples
disposable income.
A graph that shows that there is a relation between unemployment and inflation: One can either have a high inflation and low unemployment or low inflation with high unemployment.
Generally, low inflation is better for society because inflation has costs associated with the reallocation of assets and their value (that is, it costs money for people to change their decisions when inflation changes the value of their goods/services).
Low inflation is considered good because it represents price stability, which encourages productive planning and investment.
Depends what you mean by "low". There are various measures and various types of inflation. The British Government has several, and has recently moved from one to another to calculate "inflation linked" price and pay increases. It's around 5% currently.
core inflation rate
"The Rate of inflation is at an all time low!"

Low inflation
Financial hawks favor low inflation over high economic growth, and want interest rates set high to keep inflation low. Financial doves prefer low interest rates and believe inflation has a minimal impact on society.

core inflation rate
Because unemployement fell to its lowest level in decades, and inflation crept along at less than 3%
The lowest inflation rate in the world is 0% in Japan. There are countries in which there is a negative inflation, but these cases are not called low inflation, they are called deflation. the highest deflation rate is 3% in Nauru (you may as well call it a -3% inflation)
They are inversely related. High unemployment means lots of people don't have jobs. Because they don't have jobs their incomes are low. Low incomes means they can't spend much money on products. This means that demand in the economy will fall. This fall in demand will drive producers to lower prices...and therefore inflation falls. So... High unemployment = low inflation Low unemloyment = higher inflation
Yes, because the inflation rate is now low.
