HUBUNGAN INFLASI DAN PENGANGGURAN TERHADAP STABILITAS EKONOMI

Abstract

 Economic stability is a condition that reflects a balance between growth, employment opportunities, and price stability. One of the key factors determining the achievement of this stability is the level of inflation and unemployment. High inflation can reduce the purchasing power of society and increase production costs, while high unemployment can decrease household consumption, slow economic growth, and create social inequality. This article aims to provide an understanding of how inflation and unemployment are interrelated and how they affect a country's economic stability, while also emphasizing the need for balanced economic policies to control both variables. The method used is a literature review, collecting secondary data from various journals, reports, and related publications, which are then analyzed descriptively and comparatively to identify patterns of interrelation between variables. The study results indicate that inflation and unemployment have a complex and dynamic relationship. Uncontrolled inflation has the potential to increase unemployment, whereas high unemployment tends to suppress inflation through weakened consumption. These findings underscore that monetary and fiscal policies must be implemented in an integrated manner to maintain price stability while creating employment opportunities. Consequently, economic stability can be achieved sustainably and serve as an important foundation for growth and societal welfare.
