Abstract

Egypt witnessed economic, political and social changes that had a negative impact on the income of individuals and consequently on the level of their spending and in the consumption pattern as it was found that food spending on food and drink for both urban and rural Egypt represents about 33.9%, 40.2% of The total consumer spending of the family amounting to about54,516.8 -44,358 pounds for the year2017/2018, and it decreased, representing about27.7%,34.6%of the total consumer spending of the family, which amounts to about68969.8 -51728.1 pounds, in urban and rural Egypt, in order for the period2019/2020.The research aimed to identify changes in the structure of the family's food expenditure on food groups and to estimate the fairness of the food and consumer agreement for the family in rural and urban Egypt to know the impact of local and regional changes on the food agreement and consumption of the family in rural and urban areas. By studying the estimates of the Gini coefficients, it appears that local and regional changes had no effect on the food and consumption expenditure justice of the family in urban Egypt. Also, from the estimates of Gini coefficients, the local and regional changes had no effect on the fairness of spending on food and consumption of the family in urban Egypt. It also appears from the estimates of Gini coefficients that local and regional changes during the Corona pandemic since 2019 had an impact on inequality in food and consumer spending for the family in rural Egypt.
