| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study is to review the relationship between household size and the aspect of the Japanese economy and to suggest optimal food and agricultural policies by using econometric tools. The expenditure elasticities of household food consumption are estimated with Engel functions by using corresponding data from the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure. Main findings from the empirical study are as follows. First, the demand for homemade meals strongly depends on the economic situation, and single-mother households suffering from poverty affect food consumption patterns because of their serious time constraints. Second, the food consumption of both aged-couple and aged-single households have a tendency to depend on the outsourcing of their meals.
