The Phillip's curve states that when the government tries to reduce the level of unemployment below that than natural unemployment rate, then due to this, inflation rises in an economy. This happens because when unemployment reduces, there is an increase in national income as more individuals are now employed and earn. This rises the aggregate demand for the economy which causes demand pull inflation.
However, there is a draw back of Phillip's curve and that is that sometimes, an economy experiences stagflation - a stiuation where unemployment is high and so is the rate of inflation - and phillip's curve does not define that.
