Rising inflation is causing significant stress in the US population, especially among women and the socioeconomically vulnerable, a new study indicates.
For their study, the researchers analyzed data from the US Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, an online, probability-based survey that measures the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other emergent issues on American households. The researchers examined data collected from September 2022 to February 2023.
Compared with married respondents, those who were widowed, divorced, or separated experienced higher inflation stress . Inflation stress was higher among respondents aged 31 to 40 years than among those who were older or younger. "SES also seemed to explain a significant share of differences in inflation stress across marital status," the researchers note. The higher inflation stress among respondents aged 31 to 40 years became more substantial after adjusting for SES differences .
