Measuring level of consumption, an alternative to classification of socio-economic status
Abstract:
In the present study, an alternative is offered to the methods of socio-economic stratification. The proposed method is based on the idea that socio-economic status also manifests itself in the level of consumption of the respondents. The study uses data from the survey conducted by the Motherlands Foundation for Statistics in the Netherlands, in 1963 among a representative sample of households, on behalf of Header's Digest. In this study questions were asked relating to the possession of a large number of durable consumer goods and the purchase of a wide variety of commodities.
