The factor effect of the household income in a week because of the economic crisis
that happen in the country. Based on the first country which is Sudan, it stated that the
financial crises are the cause of economic activities to be decreased. Sudan is one of the
biggest oil productions but it became slower because of lack in financial stability. This also
happen Ecuador, Cairo and Canada. Increase in cost of living also the main factor of the
economic stability to be unstable. The cost of living can increase because of classic economic
principles like supply and demand. The demand will be increase if supply was decrease but
when goods are too many it can cause waste and damaged. These are the reason why
economic activities can decrease and due to the complexity of the markets and high demands,
offer an increase in cost of living as are most likely on less dense areas. Next is sosiopolitic
stability of 4 countries stated can affects economic growth in short and long run growth. The
impact of sociopolitical instability is greater in 4 countries because of high levels in
development and democracy. Most of sociopolity problems came from war and violence that
happen between countries. Thus, the political are instable because of government intervention
and seized power that happen. Finally, this are the main reasons why household income are
decreased. Household income at 4 countries are normally stable but when all the intervention
happens the income of household started to decreases in each year. This are most likely
because of income of workers are much lower than the price of goods that cause economical
activities decreased.
