perushyödykkeitä
Perushyödykkeitä, also known as basic commodities or staple goods, are essential items that people regularly purchase and consume. These are typically goods that are fundamental for daily living and are characterized by their necessity rather than luxury. Examples include basic food items like bread, milk, and rice, as well as essential household supplies such as toilet paper and soap. The demand for perushyödykkeitä tends to be relatively inelastic, meaning that changes in price have a less significant impact on the quantity demanded. This is because people will continue to buy these items even if their prices rise, as they are indispensable for survival and well-being.
The availability and affordability of perushyödykkeitä are often considered indicators of economic stability and social welfare.
