Consumer Society

It is often said these days that we live in a consumer society. The idea of the consumer society is based on wanting things. The more we see in the shops the more we want. We work as hard as we can because we want more things.

Marked improvements in the standard of living have taken place in the UK in the last few years. According to a recent United Nations report, Britain ranks tenth out of 173 countries as to life expectancy, education levels and basic purchasing power. As a result there has been a change in consumption and expenditure. Households spend a smaller proportion of their income on food and more on housing now. Four-fifths of British households live i n hous­es rather than flats.

As the standard of living rose for many people, they began to buy a lot of durable goods. There has been a steady growth of car ownership.

Besides, there has been an increase in the number of meals eaien away from home, for example, in restaurants, " fast food" shops and pubs. Con­sumption of non-alcoholic drinks is increasing.
