Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on the association between socioeconomic factors and food purchasing behavior have tended to rely on food expenditure data obtained through participant self-reports. However, self-reported expenditures have only rarely been compared to objective measures such as store and restaurant receipts collected over a given period of time. In addition, few receipt-based studies have addressed the disparities in the purchases of healthy or unhealthy foods across different socioeconomic status (SES) groups. The Seattle Obesity Study II (SOS II) collected store and restaurant receipts for 449 households over a period of 2 weeks. Participants were asked to report their monthly food expenditures for foods at home and away from home at the household level. The purpose of the present analyses was to: a) compare household food expenditures obtained from self-report vs. food shopping receipt data, using a number of validation techniques such as Pearson correlation, quintile kappa coefficient, and Bland-Altman method; b) examine socioeconomic trends in food expenditures using data from both methods: food shopping receipts vs. self-reports; c) to further examine SES trends in household food expenditures at home vs. away from home, as well as food groups using food shopping receipt data. The food expenditure data from two methods showed moderate agreement with a Pearson correlation of .62, Kappa coefficient of .48, and Bland-Altman agreement of $3±$162 (mean ± Standard Deviation). Self-reported food expenditures adequately reflected objective data obtained by collecting food shopping receipts. Similar associations were observed between SES and food expenditure data, obtained from both the methods. Self-reported and receipt data showed that participants with higher SES spent significantly more on food. However, the percentage of income spent on food decreased as income increased. Further analyses of receipt data on eating out showed that higher income households spent a significantly higher percentage of food expenditure on eating-out as compared to lower income households (30.3% versus 18.7%). Higher income households spent a lower percentage of the food dollar in grocery stores (69.2% vs. 80.0%), and a greater percentage in full service restaurants (17.2% versus 6.8%) compared to lower income households. Produce purchases as percent of total were linked to educational attainment (23.8% vs. 14.5%). Purchases of sweetened beverages were linked to lower incomes (7.2% vs.9.6%). This study showed that self-reported expenditure is a valuable and cost-effective way to measure food spending.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an analysis of factors that influence rural household expenditure on food using a quantile regression analysis. The objective was to investigate if there are any relationships to discern between household expenditure on food and a number of other socio-economic factors in addition to household income and household size as stipulated in Engel's law. The results indicate that indeed there are relationships that could be discerned between household food expenditure and gender, education, occupation, household income, number of people depending on household income, gender distribution by age groups and number of livestock sales per annum. However, household income has a relatively smaller effect in magnitude as compared to the rest of these factors. Furthermore, the results show that the relationships differ along the quantiles. In other words, some factors had a significant and higher effect in the lower quantile compared to the higher quantile. On the basis of such results, the study suggests that tailor-made interventions should be considered in the development initiatives that are targeting rural households as different factors affect these households differently.

Book excerpt: Examines the impact of selected socioeconomic variables on food expenditures by female-headed households. Examines expenditure patterns for selected family types (female-headed households, male-parent households, and married-parent households). Determines the impact of various demographic and socioeconomic factors on female-headed households' food expenditures, such as income, receiving food stamps and being employed will impact food expenditures more than social ones such as age. Tested and developed three tobit models.
Download or read book Food Spending Declined and Food Insecurity Increased for Middle income and Low income Households from 2000 to 2007 written by Mark Nord and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2000-07, median spending on food by U.S. households declined by 12%, and by 6% relative to the Consumer Price Index for Food and Beverages. Over the same period, the national prevalence of very low food security increased by about one-third, from 3.1% of households in 2000 to 4.1% in 2007. The deterioration in food security was greatest in the second-lowest income quintile. These estimates are corroborated by corresponding declines in food expenditures by middle- and low-income households. The declines in food spending by middle- and low-income households were accompanied by increases in spending for housing and, in the two lowest income quintiles, by declines in income and total spending.

This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measurement of food consumption and expenditure is a fundamental component of any analysis of poverty and food security, and hence the importance and timeliness of devoting attention to the topic cannot be overemphasized as the international development community confronts the challenges of monitoring progress in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In 2014, the International Household Survey Network published a desk review of the reliability and relevance of survey questions as included in 100 household surveys from low- and middle-income countries. The report was presented in March 2014 at the forty-fifth session of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC), in a seminar organized by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Food Security, Agricultural and Rural Statistics (IAEG-AG). The assessment painted a bleak picture in terms of heterogeneity in survey design and overall relevance and reliability of the data being collected. On the positive side, it pointed to many areas in which even marginal changes to survey and questionnaire design could lead to a significant increase in reliability and consequently, great improvements in measurement accuracy. The report, which sparked a lot of interest from development partners and UNSC member countries, prompted IAEG-AG to pursue this area of work with the ultimate objective of developing, validating, and promoting scalable standards for the measurement of food consumption in household surveys. The work started with an expert workshop that took place in Rome in November 2014. Successive versions of the guidelines were drafted and discussed at various IAEG-AG meetings, and in another expert workshop organized in November 2016 in Rome. The guidelines were put together by a joint FAO-World Bank team, with inputs and comments received from representatives of national statistical offices, international organizations, survey practitioners, academics, and experts in different disciplines (statistics, economics, nutrition, food security, and analysis). A list of the main contributors is included in the acknowledgment section. In December 2017 a draft of the guidelines was circulated to 148 National Statistical Offices from low- to high-income countries for comments. The document was revised following that consultation and submitted to UNSC, which endorsed it at its forty-ninth session in March 2018 (under item 3(j) of the agenda, agricultural and rural statistics. The version presented here reflects what was endorsed by the Commission, edited for language. The process received support from the Global Strategy for Agricultural and Rural Statistics. The document is intended to be a reference document for National Statistical Offices, survey practitioners, and national and international agencies designing household surveys that involve the collection of food consumption and expenditure data.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market-based interventions to improve diets in the population have been the focus of some recent developments in Canadian food policy, but their impact on different population subgroups is not well understood. The goal of this research was to characterize the food purchasing patterns of Canadian households in relation to socio-economic factors through analyses of data from Statistics Canada's Family Food Expenditure Surveys (FOODEX). An analysis of data from the 1996 FOODEX revealed that income and education have independent effects on food selection. Higher income and higher education (particularly a university degree) were both associated with selecting a more nutritious array of foods. Income thresholds, below which food purchasing appeared to be severely constrained, were apparent for several food groups, and an income gradient was observed for vegetables and fruit indicating the impact of income on this food group is similar across the income spectrum. An examination of trends over time (1986-2001), using data from four different waves of FOODEX, revealed income-related disparities in the nutritional quality of food selections that have persisted over time and, in some cases, widened. One notable exception to these trends was the nutrient folate. The positive income gradient in folate (independent of energy) observed in the time periods prior to mandatory folic acid fortification was no longer apparent in 2001, post-fortification. The insights gained from the aforementioned analyses were applied to a current policy issue: the reduction of trans fats in the Canadian food supply. In an analysis of data from the 2001 FOODEX, a higher income was associated with paying a higher price for foods that are major sources of trans fat. These findings raise concerns about the effectiveness of current interventions based on voluntary measures by food manufacturers, given the literature suggesting that such measures are likely to be restricted to higher priced products. This research importantly adds to our limited knowledge of Canadian food consumption patterns, providing insight into the potential impact of some recent changes in food policy on food consumption patterns, and highlighting the need to monitor the impacts of food policy on different population subgroups.
