Market basket method - Market basket method (English spelling)

Japanese: マーケット・バスケット方式 - マーケットバスケットほうしき(英語表記)market basket
Market basket method - Market basket method (English spelling)
Originally it meant a shopping basket, but when the word method is added to it, it refers to a method in which the amount of daily necessities and services needed to live a certain life is determined individually, for example 130g of bread, 100g of beef, etc., and these are converted into purchase prices, added up, and the cost of living is calculated. This method came to be called by the above name because it resembles an individual putting daily necessities into a shopping basket at a market. The market basket method belongs to the category of theoretical cost of living methods that add up the amounts of daily necessities and services based on knowledge of life science, and a well-known example is the poverty line created by BS Rowntree.

Japanese:
本来は買物籠という意味であるが,これに方式の語が付された場合は,一定の生活を営むために必要な生活用品やサービスの量を,たとえばパン130g,牛肉100gなどのように個々に決定し,これを購入価格に換算・合計し生活費を算定する方法をさす。この方法が標記の名称で呼ばれるようになったのは,個人がマーケットで生活用品を買物籠に入れるのに似ているということからである。マーケット・バスケット方式は,生活用品やサービスの量を生活科学の知識に基づいて積み上げる理論生計費方式の部類に属しており,有名なものとしてB.S.ラウントリーの作成した貧困線がある。
