Beijing Municipal Statistics Bureau Xiuqin longer than a few days ago a news conference, said that the Engel coefficient is the international measure of consumer quality, changes in consumption levels are important indicators, it is the living expression of wealth. Currently, Beijing Engel coefficient dropped to around 33% of per capita GDP has reached 9000 U.S. dollars, these two indicators mean that Beijing has reached the upper-middle level of rich countries or regions.
Engel's Coefficient is usually reflected the decline in quality of life for the residents to upgrade. However, Beijing residents do not seem to feel that they raise the level of surplus, especially in the huge price gap between revenue cases, the working-class consumers feel great pressure.

The prices were up 126%. The rate of increase was 2.3 times income. Analysts believe that the current decline in the Engel's coefficient in the first half mainly due to the reduction in prices of meat and eggs, but now the price has rebounded, so Engel's coefficient is likely to rise for 3 consecutive years.
Objectively speaking, the decline in the Engel's coefficient in fact active and passive fall down two kinds of situations. Means that residents take the initiative to decrease the burden and economic pressure to reduce, the will naturally increase the pleasure in consumption. Decline in the passive case, will only make people feel a heavier burden. If the decline in the Engel's coefficient of active living to improve the quality can be regarded as the embodiment of decline in the Engel's coefficient of passive means that the residents quality of life and spirit of the degree of a certain degree of reduced pleasure. Therefore, residents of Engel's coefficient of statistical data should pay attention to distinguish between active and passive data, drop the distinction between the two situations, so it may be the actual situation of Beijing residents to make accurate judgments and analysis.
