To hold prices stable in a growing economy, the amount of currency in circulation should be held commensurate with the net rate of growth of new workers entering the labor force, which itself is a function of population growth.<ref>both natural increase and by immigration.</ref> Inflation occurs when a country is flooded with currency in excess of its growing population, and hence, its economic growth. In a country with a declining population, a similar phenomenon can occur if the amount of currency in circulation remains high as the number of workers and consumers declines.

In a country with a declining population, a similar phenomenon can occur if the amount of currency in circulation remains high as the number of workers and consumers declines.
If for example money supply growth were held flat within a growing population, new workers would find it difficult to find jobs, let alone receive money compensation in new paychecks, or to find living quarters and other basic necessities. Hence the necessity to regulate money growth in tandem with the number of new workers entering the labor force. The growing labor force will create the new housing and other necessities to sustain itself. Inflation occurs when corrupt politicians flood the country with "free money" to buy votes for themselves.
