GENERAL INTRODUCTION
- Preliminary
Economic development of any nation is contingent upon the income potential and consumption patter of its people. While, the channelization of income in productive investment avenues leads to increased capital formation, the rise in consumption expenditure leads to higher aggregate demand and elevated economic growth of a country (Dwivedi, 2005). Since, industrial workforce are both potent consumers and prospective savers of economy, it becomes all the more important to analysis their savings consumption expenses. Of the multiple factors determining the income and subsequent consumption pattern of the individual, the family or the household size assumes importance (Browning and Lusaidi, 1996; Orbeta, 2006). Most of the existing studies are of the view that family size affects both the income and consumption.
