National income, prices and employment
Interpret output, inflation and unemployment without mixing levels and changes.
Shared cross-level core and stretch unit. Start with the core questions, then use the stretch example for deeper work. The same unit is available in related class and board pathways; it is not a full grade-specific or examination-specification course. A teacher should select the appropriate depth and further topics.
Learn the idea
Real output adjusts a money measure for price changes; nominal output does not. Inflation is a rate of change in a price index, not the price level itself. Unemployment rates depend on the definition of the labour force. A lower inflation rate can still mean prices are rising.
Worked example
A price index rising from 100 to 108 shows an 8% increase for its basket and method. If the next rise is from 108 to 112.32, inflation for that interval is 4%; prices are still higher, not falling.
- Define the measure and reference period.
- Calculate change using the original base.
- Explain who and what the measure covers.
Stretch example
With base-year prices, real GDP values quantities consistently across periods. GDP is output measured within an economy; it does not by itself describe wellbeing, distribution or environmental costs.
