Question 4 • EA Academy Civics 9
Deflation is a sustained fall in the general price level. It can lead people to delay purchases because they expect prices to fall further, reducing spending; lower sales can then reduce businesses’ income and lead to job losses. So the correct answers are “It can cause job losses,” “It can lead to a decrease in income,” and “It can lead people to reduce spending.” Deflation means prices are falling, not increasing.
