In: The Bangladesh development studies: the journal of the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies, Band 17, Heft 3, S. 101-117

Abstract

Using Household Expenditure Survey data from several rounds (1973/74, 1976/77, 1981/82 and 1983/84), the paper analyses the intertemporal shift in the pattern of food consumption in Bangladesh. The analysis is particularly focussed on the rural-urban differential in food consumption pattern and the variation in household nutritional intake between high and low expenditure groups. (DÜI-Sen)
