[[A regional perspective in population study--based on national consumption expenditure surveys]].
The author examines "regional characteristics of population in [Japan] from the standpoint of consumption behavior and [assesses] the significance of 'regionality' in population study.  Data [are from] the National Consumption Expenditure Surveys conducted...every five years...from 1959-1984."  Topics covered include differences in household consumption and expenditures, particularly food expenditures, by prefecture and for rural and urban areas, and regional similarity indexes.
