Urban-Rural Disparities in Household Expenditure Pattern: A Study of Assam

Author(s) Bomrik Gadi
Country India
Abstract This study examines urban-rural disparities in household consumption pattern in Assam by analyzing the Monthly Per Capita Consumption Expenditure (MPCE) data from the National Sample Survey (NSS) rounds for selected years, spanning from 2007-2008 to 2023-24. The study reveals a persistent urban-rural disparity in MPCE, with urban households spending more than their rural counterparts due to improved access to infrastructure, income opportunities, and services. Notably, rural households allocate a higher proportion of their expenditure to food items, reflecting their economic vulnerability. Conversely, urban households exhibit more diversified spending patterns, including investments in education and healthcare. While the government of Assam has made efforts to address these disparities, their impact has been limited due to systematic barriers in rural areas. Therefore, this study underscores the necessity for targeted policies to mitigate the urban-rural divide and foster inclusive growth. This study employs a quantitative methodology utilizing secondary data from the National Sample Survey (NSS) rounds. Statistical tools employed include percentage calculations, gap analysis, and graphical representations such as graphs.
