Este artículo muestra la estructura de consumo de la población dominicana antes de la pandemia, a partir de datos de la ENGIH-2018, los cambios de la canasta desde la primera ENGIH en 1976-1977 y, finalmente, se emite una idea de los posibles efectos de la pandemia sobre esta. En la estructura de consumo familiar influyen factores como nivel de ingresos, urbanización, tamaño de los hogares, estratificación social, educación, etc. A su vez, en una economía bastante cerrada, la estructura de consumo es determinante de las estructuras de producción, empleo, comercio, ingresos fiscales, comercio exterior y condiciones sociales. Los hábitos de gastos cambian con el tiempo y las circunstancias. En medio siglo, la economía dominicana ha crecido, han surgido nuevos sectores y la población se ha urbanizado. Con esto, ha cambiado la canasta hacia una menor ponderación del componente alimentación y de prendas de vestir, y el consiguiente incremento del consumo de servicios, incluyendo transporte, educación, salud y comunicaciones. Dentro de la alimentación, han ganado terreno los alimentos servidos fuera del hogar. La pandemia del COVID-19 impactó de manera aguda los modos de vida y es previsible que los hábitos de consumo de la gente, impactando a su vez la estructura productiva y de empleo.
This article shows the household consumption structure of the Dominican Republic before the pandemic, based on data from the ENGIH-2018; the changes of the basket since the first ENGIH in 1976-1977 and, finally, issues an idea of the possible effects of the pandemic on it. The structure of family consumption is influenced by factors such as income level, urbanization, household size, social stratification, education, etc. In turn, in a fairly closed economy, the structure of consumption is determinant of the structures of production, employment, trade, tax revenues, foreign trade and social conditions. Spending habits change with time and circumstances. In half a century, the Dominican economy has grown, new sectors have emerged, and the population has urbanized. With this, the consumption basket has changed towards a lower weighting of the food and clothing component, and consequent increase in the consumption of services, including transportation, education, health, and communications. Within the food, food served outside the home has gained ground. Since 2020, many things have changed, as the COVID-19 pandemic has acutely impacted lifestyles, and it is foreseeable that people's consumption habits will be affected and, with them, the productive and employment structure will be impacted.
