Impact of Household Debt on Economic Crises

Household debt significantly contributes to economic crises by leading to reduced spending when households owe a lot. As individuals cut back on spending, the demand for goods and services decreases, resulting in job losses and an economic downturn. The burden of debt amplifies during crises, causing a vicious cycle where more people struggle to meet debt obligations, further reducing overall spending.
