Studies have shown greater longevity, ceteris paribus, results in the increase in the population share of the elderly in a country. Following the methodology by Deaton and Paxson (1994), this paper uses the variance of the logarithm of total household expenditures and expenditures on human capital formation goods, taken from rounds of Family Income and Expenditures Survey (FIES) from 1985 to 2003, to measure inequality across and between cohorts. The results show that the changing demographic structure in the Philippines contributes to the increase in the inequality of overall consumption, ceteris paribus, because the consumption of the elderly population is more unequal than that of the young. Moreover, it is found that on the average inequality in consumption of human capital formation goods increases with age.Item Restricted Effects of family size on household consumption patterns: a Philippine case study(2010-10) Gamos, Josephine Maravilla; Suguitan, Carlo Emmanuel Desierto; Tecson, GwendolynIn light of the ballooning population growth of our country, the researchers decided to conduct a study regarding the implications of family size on the household consumption patterns. Using data from the Family Income and Expenditure Survey: the researchers analyzed which of the consumption items are directly and significantly affected by an increase in the number of members in the household. Aside from family size, other factors such as the educational attainment and the age of the household head were also considered. To make the study even more accurate, separate regressions were done for every region in the Philippines. The researchers' findings aim not only to aid various institutions of society in determining the effect of the household size on the kind of lifestyle a family leads but also to help educate Filipinos in order for them to do their part in resolving the alarming population problem in the country.
