Subsistence Consumption is a pattern of household consumption characterized by the prioritization of basic physiological needs—such as food, shelter, and clothing—over discretionary or market-oriented expenditures, predominantly observed in rural consumption patterns where resources are primarily allocated to survival rather than economic accumulation or symbolic consumption.
