Differences of level and especially of structure between
household incomes were registered basedon the residential area.
In Quarter I 2012, the total average income per household from
urban area was 24.2% greaterthan of households from rural and 9.3%
greater than of the entire households.
In the urban area, the household income came 62.6% from wages,
23.0% from social provisions,
the in-kind income being 9.1% of the total income.
In the rural area, the main income source was the agricultural
production that provided 41.7% ofthe total income. The most part of
it (36.8% of the total income) was represented by the
equivalentvalue of the consumption of agro-food products from own
resources, the money income fromagriculture providing 4.9% of the
rural household income. An important contribution to the
ruralhousehold income had also the salary income (26.8%) and the
social provisions income (24.0%).
HOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURE
In Quarter I 2012, the total expenditureof the population was
roughly of2245 lei per month perhousehold (780 lei per person) and
was 90.5% of the total income.
The main uses of the expenditure done by the households are the
consumption of food and non-food goods, of services and the income
taxes, contributions and subscriptions paid to private andpublic
administration and to the social insurance budgets, as well as the
cover of some needsrelated to the household production (poultry and
animal feed, work payment for the householdproduction, seeds,
veterinary services, etc.). The expenditure with investments,
intended forpurchasing or raising dwellings, purchasing land and
equipment required by the householdproduction and purchasing
shares, etc. represent a very small weight in the total
household
expenditure (only 0.3%).
Some characteristics as to the size and the structure of the
total consumption expenditure aredetermined by the residential
area. Consequently, while the monthly average
consumptionexpenditure is 537 lei greater with urban households
than with rural ones, the food consumptionexpenditure is only 15
lei greater. This is a result of the fact that, in rural area 50.5%
of the foodconsumption expenditure represents the equivalent value
of the consumption from own resources.
For the urban households, the food consumption from own
resources covered 22.9% of the foodconsumption expenditure.
