“…Rashid et al, 2010). The result is consistent with a study by Blick et al (2017) that concluded small-sized households headed by a male and living in an urban settlement are most likely to purchase FAFH compared to female-headed households. Furthermore, Lee and Tan (2007) and Tiwari et al (2017) indicated that gender and age or even education do not affect the household expenditure on FAFH.…”

“…Also, household income is the most important correlation with food expenditure patterns (Venn et al, 2017). For household FAFH expenditure, Blick et al (2017) found that the income of the household head is an important determinant. Further, the wealthier the person or family then the household shows higher advantage and spends relatively more on FAFH, according to Venn et al (2017).…”

Malaysia have achieved high income growth and experienced rapid urbanization and changes in socioeconomic and demographic structure. Family income as well as demographic factors influence demand for food away from home. At the same time food service facilities also showed the rapid growth. It is expected that there will be significant changes in food away from home consumption in Malaysia. The objective of this paper is to analyse middle income household expenditure patterns on food away from home in the three major cities of Malaysia (George Town, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru) that have a high cost of living. Therefore, a survey has been carried out in the three cities and the total number of observations used for the estimation was 473 observations. A censored Tobit model was applied to quantify the responsiveness of household expenditure on food away from home. The results indicate that on average, the household income and number of children below 12 years old in the household are the significant factors that affect the household expenditure on food away from home. There is a significant difference between the Chinese and Malays in their spending pattern on food away from home. Meanwhile, family size, gender and age of household head were statistically insignificant. It is recommended that the government should strengthen the enforcement of price control regulations in order to avoid high inflation in food price, as well as monitoring the quality of food served by the sellers in order to encourage people to consume healthy food.

“…In the study, households with a young children aged 0-5 and aged 6-14 were 2.88% and 2.09% less likely to consume FAFH and they spent 15.81 TL and 11.49 TL less than their counterparts without such young children, respectively. Presence of children (aged 0-5 and aged [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] As the total expenditure of households increased, the probability of consuming FAFH increased by 6.04% points and spending increased by 33.14 TL per month. These positive effects of total expenditure might be related to the increased income because household's total expenditures are generally viewed as proxy for income.…”

“…Changes were generally derived from convenience and increasing food availability, but demographic changes such as a higher share of working women and an increasing number of single households contributed as well (Nayga and Capps, 1992;Robson et al, 2016). One of the discouraging factors on the preparing the meal at home was reported to be working longer hours (Blick et al, 2017). In many studies, it was stated that globalization, urbanization, income, education, marketing, religion, culture, tourism women's participation in the labor force and consumer attitudes increases in FAFH consumption (Nayga, 1995;Ma et al, 2006;Bozoglu et al, 2013;Liu and Niyongira, 2017).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of socio-demographic and economic factors of households and household heads on monthly expenditures of food away from home (FAFH) in Turkey. The sample size was determined as 11290 households. The data were analyzed by generalized Heckman type sample selection models. The results showed that both the probability and monthly spending levels of household FAFH increased with male household heads, household income, whilst the married household heads, the households that receive cash income aids from the government and private sector, decreased both the probability and spending levels of FAFH in Turkey. The findings in the study may provide useful information for more effective identification and implementation of the marketing strategies of the stakeholders operating in the sector and also help the relevant public and private institutions determine more effective nutritional policies towards families with a certain profile.
