Abstract

This paper examines, using micro-data on the expenditures of Canadian households for 1978 and 1982, how their income, their size and make-up, their labour force participation, their place of residence and other sociodemographic characteristics (age, schooling, language, …) explain their expenditures on fourteen aggregates (food at home, housing, clothing …). The results show that economic factors such as the life cycle and the scarcity of time allow us to explain these expenditures. Ce texte examine, à l’aide de micro-données sur les dépenses des ménages canadiens en 1978 et 1982, comment leur revenu, leur taille et composition, leur participation au marché du travail, leur lieu de résidence et divers autres caractéristiques socio-démographiques (âge, scolarité, langue, …) expliquent leurs dépenses pour quatorze agrégats (aliments à la maison, logement, vêtements, …). Les résultats indiquent que des facteurs économiques tels le cycle de vie et la rareté du temps permettent d’expliquer ces dépenses.
