Abstract / Excerpt:

Summary of findings: Aggregate household real consumption performance in the rural area is in varied pattern throughout the 1990's, raging from a rise in the year 1991-97 to a fall in 1997-2000 and most noticeable in some regions of the country. Among the regions, region IV has the highest consumption expenditure and was maintained throughout the 1990's while CAR and ARMM have the lowest.

Recommendations: The Philippine statistical agency should come up with separate aggregate important variables between rural and urban areas particularly on the total investment made in both sector and total expenditures apportioned by the national government. There should be a separate consumer price index (CPI) between rural and urban area so that actual relationship of this variable to the consumption pattern can be shown.
