“…3 See Mao and Xu (2014) for a description of the content of each category. Households that receive remittances tend to be larger (before migration), they have more adult members but fewer old dependent people, and they are more likely to have children (both pre-school and of school age).…”

This paper investigates how private transfers from internal migration in China affect the expenditure behaviour of families left behind in rural areas. Using data from the Rural-Urban Migration in China (RUMiC) survey, we assess the impact of remittances sent to rural households on consumption-type and investment-type expenditures. We apply propensity score matching to account for the selection of households into receiving remittances, and estimate average treatment effects on the treated. We find that remittances supplement income in rural China and lead to increased consumption rather than increased investment. Moreover, we find evidence of a strong negative impact on education expenditures, which could be detrimental to sustaining investment in human capital in poor rural areas in China.JEL Classification: O15, J22, R23, D13, O53

“…7 See also Horioka and Wan (2007), Kinugasa and Mason (2007), Kraay (2000) and Kuijs (2006). 8 This uncertainty stems from additional complexities that include the impact of changing age distributions on the scale and product composition of consumption (as shown by Mao & Xu, 2014), and the interdependence of fertility, longevity, and savings rates, which are in turn connected to policies affecting health, welfare and pen- regressions have reported sizeable but varying contributions of China's changing age structure, depending on the variables included in the regressions and the methods used. 9 Importantly, in none of these papers does the growth of the WAP share make a significant and positive contribution to per capita income growth, which, in the context of the above discussion, indicates that it is impacting negatively on productivity growth.…”

“…Nutrients contained in the food will undergo biological processes after entry into the body and influence the functioning of body organs. The price factor, the budget allocation for the purchase of food needs available (Barigozzi, Alessi, Capasso, & Fagiolo, 2012;Mao & Xu, 2014). The budget allocation is determined by the income earned by the society; it is because of a higher proportion of the budget allocated to the food than for other needs.…”

Patterns of production and consumption of food communities in coastal regions are different from the people who live in mountainous areas or other areas (agricultural society). The fundamental difference between coastal communities and the agricultural society is due to the access to land. This study aimed to assess the patterns of food production and consumption in coastal areas. The method used is a case study to look deeply at the social reality of consumption and production pattern in coastal regions. Field data collection is done systematically through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and field observation. The focus on research is the coastal community in Karampuang island. The target group is determined based on the knowledge of field conditions, and the initial information has been obtained from key informants. The most important results were obtained, namely: Patterns of food production of the island Karampuang characterized by the production of a limited form of cassava were only able to complement the food needs alone, and Society Consumption Pattern Karampuang Island is characterized by the intensity of the low consumption, low consumption type material variations.
