The Living Costs and Food Survey (LCF) is a survey carried out in the United Kingdom by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It is carried out on a calendar year basis and collects information on expenditure of goods and services for private households. The survey is primarily designed to collect expenditure information, however it also gathers information about the income of household members.〔(''"Family Spending - A report on the Living Costs and Food Survey"'' ), Office for National Statistics website.〕 The results of the survey are multi purpose, however it is primarily used to provide information for the Retail Prices Index and the National Accounts estimates of household expenditure, as well as analysis of the effect of taxes and benefits. The Living Costs and Food Survey also collects specialist food data, which is used and sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). While the ONS Social Surveys Division report the income and expenditure data, the DEFRA publish the detailed food and nutritional data.〔(''"Family Food 2011"'' ), A National Statistics publication by DEFRA, December 2012.〕 ==History== In 2008 The Expenditure and Food Survey (EFS) became a module of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS) 〔(''"Social Survey - Expenditure and Food Survey"'' ), National Statistics website, 25 September 2009.〕 and was renamed as the Living Costs and Food Survey (LCF). The EFS was the result of the amalgamation of the Family Expenditure Survey (FES) and the National Food Survey (NFS) in 2001.〔(''"Family Expenditure Survey - list of datasets"'' ), Economic and Social Data Service website.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Living Costs and Food Survey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
