ECONOMETRIC ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF INFLATION RATE ON THE REAL INCOMES OF THE POPULATION

Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of the inflation rate on the real incomes of the population using econometric methods. Based on statistical data for the period 2018–2025, the influence of inflation, average wages, and the unemployment rate on the real incomes of the population was assessed. The results of the study show that an increase in the inflation rate has a negative effect on the real incomes of the population by reducing their purchasing power. At the same time, the growth of wages plays a significant positive role in increasing real incomes, partially offsetting the adverse effects of inflation. The study highlights that unemployment also has a considerable impact on household welfare, as higher unemployment levels reduce overall income stability and economic well-being. The econometric analysis conducted using regression models and the STATA software demonstrates the interdependence between macroeconomic indicators and living standards. Overall, the findings emphasize the importance of effective macroeconomic policy aimed at controlling inflation, supporting employment, and ensuring sustainable growth of real incomes.
