This study is based on household budget surveys conducted in eighteen major cities of ten South American countries. The project has two major objectives: One is to present a uniform statistical analysis of the principal features of family income and expenditure; the other is to create a body of data suitable for a variety of subsequent analyses. These analyses, described below, concentrate on the relations between income and expenditure, and on the allocation of the household budget as a function of income and a variety of socioeconomic variables. Because information with wide coverage and extensive detail is rare in Latin America, much of the project effort lies in obtaining and cleaning the data.
