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.

How does inflation impact the increase in wages?

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.
