消費構造の分析

抄録

From the 1960's to the 1970's, the Japanese economy had achieved its remarkably high level of development and the national income and consumption level had rapidly reached its standard point. During the years from 1966 to 1963, the continuous good harvest brought a situation of overproduction and caused a severe production adjustment. In 1973, the so-called oil-shock caused changes in agricultural management and the farming circumstances became very difficult to the farmers.
The author analyzed the 10-year family budget of the N farming family from 1969 to 1979 with regard to the above mentioned economic background in Japan. The results were as follows :
1. The nominal family budget increased four times during the 10-year period, but the marked rise in the consumer price actually caused an increase in their family budget, which was not only lower than the national average but also the prefectural one, per head of each family member.
2. According to the itemized list of the budget in the former half of the 1970's, fuel and light and clothing expenses in the family budget increased markedly; on the other hand, since 1975, in the latter half of the 1970's, housing expenses increased markedly, as well.
3. Since 1975, the consumption contents had become rapidly urbanized and higher than the common farmers' consumption contents.
