Définition

Individual goods and services have the following characteristics:
their acqui­sition by one household or person, or by a group of persons, precludes its acquisition by other households or persons;
the household has agreed to the provision of the goods and services and takes the action nec­essary to consume the goods and services;
it is possible to observe and record the acquisition of the goods and services by an individual household or member thereof and also the time at which the acquisition took place.
