恩格尔系数是指居民生活费支出中用于食品支出的比重。其变化规律是,随着收入的增长,食品消费支出占生活费支出的比重呈下降趋势。联合国把它作为衡量各国生活水平的重要指标,并具体划分为:恩格尔系数在59%以上者为绝对贫困,51—59%为勉强度日,40—50%为小康水平,30—39%为富裕,30%以下为最富裕。各国的发展历程表明,恩格尔系数下降是总的趋势,但由于各国情况不同,即使在同一发展阶段中,下降的幅度各有不同,有时还出现波动。
The Engel’s Coefficient refers to the proportion spent on food expenditures for household expenses. The law of change is that with the increase of income, the proportion of expenditure on food as a percentage of cost of living is on a downward trend. The United Nations takes it as an important indicator of the living standards of all countries and is specifically divided into: absolute poverty of 59% or more for the Engel coefficient, barely enough for 51-59%, 40-50% for well-to-do and 30-39% for Wealthy, below 30% for the richest. The development history of all countries shows that the decline of the Engel’s coefficient is the general trend. However, due to the different situations in different countries, the magnitude of the decline varies from one country to another and sometimes fluctuates.
