Why prices go up
Inflation: why the same money buys less over time
The story
Grandpa says that when he was young, a soda cost just a few shillings. Today it costs about KES 70.
The big idea
When prices go up over time, it’s called inflation. The same KES 100 buys a little less each year.
Ask at home
Ask your child to guess what bread or milk cost when you were their age, then tell them.
