African Centre for Statistics 1. Actual Consumption versus Consumption Expenditure Household spending on consumer goods and services is less than what they actually consuming. This is because government provide services to households free or at price below the cost of production. Government actual consumption is the service they provide for the community as a whole such as defense, law and order, they are known as collective services. Services such as health, education & social protection are called individual services. For ICP purpose, actual consumption of household is compared across the countries.
