modernisation. In order to cope with the current economic situation, individual vary in their consumption levels and
lifestyles. In this study, basic needs expenditure refers to four main groups of household expenditure, namely food,
housing, transportation and communication given that they make up a significant part of total household expenditure.
Furthermore, the different budget constraints that vary with income and location, the different expenditure patterns
reflect how people are surviving in the current economic climate. This paper identifies the factors contributing to
basic needs consumption comprising food, housing, transportation and communication. The econometric analysis
using Seemingly Unrelated Regression Estimation (SURE) shows that these expenditures are largely determined by
the total monthly spouse income (Inc) and total borrowing (Bor) for all consumption expenditures. The results with
interaction term also revealed no difference in the basic needs expenditure of urban and rural households in Selangor
and Kelantan. Based on the findings, households should be educated on consumerism and financial management for
effective financial planning. |
