    The rise in unemployment.

    Explanation:

    The Phillips curve analyzes the relationship between inflation and unemployment, ie the trade-off between these two variables. Thus, rising inflation reduces unemployment, while a monetary policy of reducing inflation increases unemployment. Thus, the criticism would be that a 0% inflation target policy would be sacrificing employment, that is, it would be necessary to reduce growth and increase unemployment to reach very low levels of inflation.
