In the next decade, significant demographic changes
will offer new opportunities for the food industry.
We should not be surprised to find that the average
consumer will be older. The number of elderly (persons
aged 65 and over) is projected to grow by over
13 percent between 2000 and 2005 and over 45
percent between 2000 and 2020 (Bureau of the
Census, 1996). The number of elderly will increase
from 35 million in 2000 to 69 million in 2030. In
2030, when the surviving Baby Boomers become
elderly, about 20 percent of the whole population
will be over age 65 compared to 13 percent now. In
contrast, total population growth is projected to be
slightly over eight percent from 2000 to 2010 and
16 percent from 2000 to 2020.
One striking feature of this dramatic change is
that the most rapidly growing age group will be
aged 85 and older. Based on the 1996 U.S. population,
the age 85 and older population will double
by 2025 and increase fivefold by 2050. The growth
in the number of centenarians (age 100 and older)
is expected to increase from 72,000 in 2000, to
131,000 in 2010 (a 68 percent increase), and to
214,000 in 2020 (a 197 percent increase over 2000).
Public and private policymakers need to be informed
about the consumption patterns of this large
and growing segment of the American population.
The purpose of this paper is to provide information
on elderly food-expenditure patterns and differences
in expenditures within the elderly population.
While previous studies focused on aggregate
expenditures such as housing, health care, and aggregate
food expenditures, we focus on food-athome,
food-away from-home and 17 food-at-home
categories.
The objectives of the study are to quantify food
expenditures by age groups and contrast elderly
expenditure patterns with other age groups, test for
significant differences between elderly food-expenditures
and younger age groups, and test for differencesin food expenditures between two elderly age
groups (age 65-74 versus age 75 and over).
Most previous work has treated elderly consumers
aged 65 and older as a homogeneous group. However,
due to differences in educational levels, marital
status, gender ratios, race, ethnicity, economic
resources, attitudes, and values among the elderly,
we look at two different groups of elderly persons
(age 65-74 and age 75 and over).
Previous Studies
The increase in the number of elderly households
in the U.S. population and their expenditure trends
has been the subject of several economic studies.
These studies place considerable interest on the
importance of understanding elderly households'
expenditure choices.
Several previous studies have used descriptive
analyses to look at elderly household expenditures
Most notable are studies by Harrison (1986) and
Walker and Schwenk (1991). These studies look at
food and non-food expenditures for two groupsyounger
group of elderly heads of households and
an older group of households. Harrison finds expenditure
differences between households headed
by an individual aged 65 to 74 and households
headed by an individual 75 years and older. Walker
and Schwenk also looked at two different groups
of households. Differences between those aged 70
to 79 and those 80 or older were analyzed. These
researchers also found expenditure differences between
the defined groups. One main drawback to
the study was that they only used descriptive analyses
to analyze the data.
Newer studies use empirical techniques to further
analyze differences between expenditures by
different elderly groups. Abdel-Ghany and Sharpe
published a 1997 study which looks at differences
in consumption or expenditure patterns between
what they call the "young-old" (aged 65-74) and
the "old-old" (aged 75 and older). The authors look
at a cross-section of 1990 CES data and test for
differences between expenditure patterns of two
