“…These features are all based on multidimensional relative poverty measurements. Previously, poverty measurement was often based on the family [ 8 , 9 ], and family members were in the same poverty state. However, different family members may also have different poverty situations due to differences in close relationships, resource endowments, and decision-making power.…”

This study explores the impact of farmland transfer on the multidimensional relative poverty of the elderly in rural areas to provide a reference for the study of rural land transfer in China and improve the welfare system for the elderly. Based on the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) rural sample data in 2018, this paper uses the AF multidimensional index measurement method to assess multidimensional relative poverty in rural areas. Logit regression estimation examines the single index poverty of rural older adults transferred from rural land and the impact of multidimensional relative poverty, using the propensity score matching method (PSM) to analyze the results’ robustness. The transfer of agricultural land has different impacts on the poverty of different rural elderly poverty indicators and negatively affects the comprehensive effect of rural elderly poverty. The transfer of agricultural land significantly alleviates rural elderly poverty. Reasonable and effective transfer of agricultural land, together with improved rural social security and a caring service system for the elderly, will promote the continuous operation of large-scale agricultural operations and alleviate rural elderly poverty.

“…These hierarchies both reconstitute and challenge social cleavages based on gender, occupation, class, age, or education. Several variables are strongly associated with expenditure patterns: income (Bihagen, 1999;Blundell & Preston, 1995;Cohen, 2016;Heslop, 1987;Katz-Gerro, 2003;Katz-Gerro & Talmud, 2005;Koelln et al, 1995;Salcedo & Izquierdo Llanes, 2020); factors related to household composition such as number of adults, their ages, and number of children (Bihagen, 1999;Deutsch et al, 2015;Fernandez-Villaverde & Krueger, 2002;Koelln et al, 1995;Raper et al, 2002;Toivonen, 1992;Uusitalo, 1980); and class and occupation (Bihagen, 1999;Cohen, 2016;Tomlinson, 1994;Uusitalo, 1980;Wittmayer et al, 1994). Although household consumption behaviour correlates strongly with income, it, alone, is an unsatisfactory predictor of consumption style differences as measured by budget allocation (Blundell & Preston, 1998;Uusitalo, 1980).…”

The main aim of this study is to analyse household consumption patterns in the highest and lowest income quintiles and explore how they have changed over time and generations. Thus, the article explores whether social inclusivity through consumption has truly increased. This study utilises the cross-sectional time-series data of the Finnish Household Expenditure Surveys (HESs), covering the period 1966–2016. We use the Age-Period-Cohort Gap/Oaxaca (APCGO) model with logitrank dependent variables as the main statistical method. Our results indicate that an overall high income is advantageous with respect to income and spending, though the gap between high- and low-income groups has remained stagnant over cohorts. A more in-depth analysis reveals that the expenditure gap, in terms of necessities, food, and groceries consumption, has narrowed. Instead, income elastic-oriented spending on culture and leisure time has significantly increased in the high-income group, where the expenditure gap has expanded 60 percentage points over the cohorts. Simply put, expenditures on necessities have become more inclusive, but low-income groups are increasingly more ‘leisure-poor’. Overall, high-income classes are spending an increasing amount of money on culture and leisure time over cohorts.
