Demand Elasticities
... Elasticity measures how responsive quantity demanded (Qd) is to a change in a variable that affects quantity demanded by either movement along the demand curve (a change in the good’s own price) or movement of the entire demand curve (Income, Price of a substitute or complement).

Middle-class squeeze
The middle-class squeeze is the situation where increases in wages fail to keep up with inflation for middle-income earners, while at the same time, the phenomenon fails to have a similar impact on the top wage earners. Persons belonging to the middle class find that inflation in consumer goods and the housing market prevent them from maintaining a middle-class lifestyle, making downward mobility a threat to aspirations of upward mobility. In the United States for example, middle-class income is declining while many goods and services are increasing in price, such as education, housing, child care and healthcare.
