Inflation means that the cost of "stuff"(food, cars, housing, whatever) is going up. Its going up because there is strong demand for those things and people have plenty of money to buy them. If you (as a government or central bank) are concerned that things are getting too expensive, too fast then you need to reduce inflation. You need to slow down the economy and reduce the ability of people to buy so many of those things. You can slow the economy by raising interest rates and making it harder to borrow money. Less money sloshing around = less stuff being bought. The downside of slowing the economy and reducing the ability of people to buy so much stuff is that there's less work for all the people who make it. Lower inflation equals higher unemployment.
Inflation can impact the increase in wages by reducing the purchasing power of the money earned. When prices rise due to inflation, wages may need to increase to keep up with the higher cost of living. However, if wages do not increase at the same rate as inflation, workers may find that their real wages, or the amount of goods and services they can buy with their income, decrease.
There has been an inverse relation between rate of inflation and the rate of unemployment in an economy. The more the entrepreneur extends the employment opportunity the more he has to pay to that particular factor of production and the more payment to factor of production the increase in the cost of producing a unit will be observed and in order to maintain the profitability of the product the entrepreneur will inflate the price of that product. A similar process will be observed through out the economy when the government intends to create job. The price of products or services, where the workforce is installed, will increase hence an increase in the rate of inflation will be visible through out the economy.It can be concluded from the aforesaid explanation that when a government intend to lower down the rate of unemployment it had to bear the increase rate of inflation in the national economy.
Economists refer to the second outcome of inflation as "cost-push inflation." This occurs when rising production costs, such as wages and raw materials, lead to an increase in prices for goods and services. Cost-push inflation can result in reduced economic growth and increased unemployment, as higher prices can decrease consumer demand.
Cost-of-living increase.
That is called "inflation".

Inflation can be caused by factors such as excess demand, cost-push inflation from rising production costs, excessive money supply growth, and external shocks such as oil price increases. These factors can lead to an increase in overall prices of goods and services in the economy.
HIstorical cost based depreciation tends to increase profits when there is inflation
Cost-of-living increase.
an increase in oil prices
That is called "inflation".
Inflation is an increase in the price level. Arguably, it can be attributed to changes in unemployment and deviations from the natural unemployment rate, since employees demand real wages, so as the price level increases, wages must increase simultaneously or people will quit their jobs, since the benefit of leisure (i.e. not working) out ways the cost (i.e. not earning income). However, this relationship may by a correlation, and causation may not exist. Nonetheless, inflation is a positive change in the price level of all goods. It is a phenomena caused by short run changes in the structure of the economy.
SNAP benefits may increase due to inflation. The government periodically adjusts SNAP benefits to account for changes in the cost of living, which can be influenced by inflation.
1. Wage Price Spiralis when workers receive a significant wage increase, which is passed to consumers through higher prices, which decreases SAS. if wages continue to increase, then the Reserve Bank should increase the supply of money to restore full employment equilibrium......
Your cost of living will increase, your real income will decrease.
we get two types of inflation demand-pull inflation, this inflation is happened from demand increase, the demand increase, the price gonna increase too. the cpi ( inflation ) index also increase. another type is cost-push inflation, this type is from cost increase. the wage rate and the price of raw materials increase, the cost of goods and service going up, and the price of goods and services also going up. that's the reason why inflation happened. hope this can help you
