One economic challenge: rising inflation combined with wages that don’t keep up — i.e., falling real wages (which can lead to stagflation or a demand-driven slowdown).

Who is affected: consumers/households (loss of purchasing power), workers (stagnant incomes), businesses (lower demand and sales, possible layoffs), and the wider economy/government (falling GDP and lower tax revenue).
