Economic conditions significantly influence political stability, as they impact employment rates, public spending, and overall societal well-being. When economic growth is strong, citizens are often more satisfied with their government, leading to stability. Conversely, high unemployment, inflation, or recession can trigger public dissent, protests, or calls for political change. Governments must respond effectively to economic challenges to maintain legitimacy; failure to do so can result in political upheaval. Furthermore, economic inequalities may exacerbate social tensions, potentially destabilizing regions and prompting shifts in political ideologies.
