Abstract

This study analyzed the determinants of food-away-from-home expenditure of households. Given the change in trend or eating behavior of Filipino households seen with the decrease in the gap of food-at-home and food-away-from-home expenditures of households, this study analyzed the possible causes or what affects the decision of households to spend on food-away-from-home. The Ordinary Least Square Estimator was utilized to analyze the effects of the household head and the household characteristics. Using the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) 2018 from PSA, it was found that sociodemographics, household head, and household characteristics, significantly affect the food-away-from-home expenditures of households. Age, educational attainment, employment status, income, pension, proportion of working, proportion of members into business activities and Urban areas, increase the food-away- from-home expenditure of households while having a married household head, male household head and household size decreases FAFH expenditures.
