Wife's Employment, Food Expenditures, and Apparent Nutrient Intake: Evidence from Canada
利用加拿大住户食品支出调查数据，分析妻子就业对食品支出份额、外出就餐比例、单位热量成本及12种营养素人均可获得性的影响，发现全职妻子就业会降低表观营养素摄入，且未被更高收入所抵消。
Abstract Women's employment has important effects on the share of food in total expenditure, the share of food‐away‐from‐home in the food budget, cost per calorie, and per capita availability of twelve nutrients. Empirical results are presented using Canadian household food expenditure survey data. As expected, wife's employment increases the share of food‐away‐from‐home in the food budget. Wife's full‐time employment has a negative effect on apparent nutrient intake, not offset by the higher per capita income of such households. There are policy implications for nutrition education and nutrient content of food‐away‐from‐home.
