Detailed explanation-1: -Deflation reduces production of goods and services due to reduction in demand for goods and services from the consumers. Reduction in production of goods and services leads to reduced investments, reduction in the salaries of employees, and also increase unemployment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deflationary spiral. Falling prices may result in less production. Less production may lead to lower pay. Lower pay may result in a drop in demand. And a drop in demand may cause increasingly lower prices.
