Inflation affects low income earners more than high income earners. This is because low income earners' income tends not to rise as quickly as prices, therefore, their purchasing power decreases. Also, low income earners do not have the skills to demand higher wages. It should be noted that high inflation generally leads to interest rate increases. This affects low income earners' cost of living and compounds the other affects of inflation. So, inflation decreases purchasing power of low income earners relative to high income earners, whose income increase as quick as inflation. Ultimately, income distribution becomes less equal.

This affects it because inflation rises and them things become more expensive, also then more money is produced which means it starts becoming devalued. Due to this the BOP (Balance of Payment) reduces so the currency is not devalued and more.
