Structure of Consumer Spending by Rural and Urban Population in Poland

Summary/Abstract: An aim of considerations is to survey the changes of the structure of consumer per capita spending in the rural and urban household in Poland and to check whether the structure of consumer spending by rural households assimilates with the structure of consumer spending in case of urban households. The article is of the research nature. In her study, the author analysed the changes in the structure of consumer per capita spending in the rural and urban household in 2006-2013 based on the data of CSO’s Households’ Budgets. To determine the similarity of the structures, there were used the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity and Canberra measures. The carried out computations showed that the value of per capita consumer spending in the household was growing faster in rural households than in urban ones. A positive phenomenon is the faster growth of spending on recreation and culture as well as on restaurants and hotels in rural households than in urban ones. The structure of per capita consumer spending in the rural and urban household is very similar.
