HOUSEHOLD FOOD CONSUMPTION: THE INFLUENCE OF HOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICS
基于1982年英国全国食品调查数据，分析了地理位置、收入、家庭构成、主妇年龄、住房产权和冰箱拥有量等家庭特征对人均食品消费的影响。
This paper reports an attempt to identify the effects of various household characteristives on household food consumption. The analysis was based on National Food Survey (NFS) data for Great Britain for the calendar year 1982. Consumption (per person per week) of various food items was related to each of the main household characteristics on which information is collected in the course of the Survey‐location (both country/region and type of area), income (generally of the head of the household), household composition, age of housewife, housing tenure and freezer ownership. The results indicated that all these variables are important in the explanation of households' food consumption patterns.
