Expenditure Behavior of Female-Headed and Two-Parent Families

Abstract

dc:description

The objectives of this study are to examine how female-headed and two-parent families change their expenditure behavior with changes in income, to compare such changes, and to investigate reasons for any differences. Data are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey. The two samples consist of 590 female-headed and 4881 two-parent families.
