The table compares the expense ratios of grown-up and younger English on four items proportionate to their earning in 2005.
Overall
, adult UK residents spent most percentages of their
income
on
food
and electronic devices
while
children’s expenditure was mostly on
music
and
video
. To illustrate, an average adult English spent over one-fourth of their
income
on
food
in 2005
while
15 per cent of the
income
went on purchasing electronic devices. Their spending on
music
and
video
was quite low, only 4% and 2% respectively. Interestingly, men spent 21% of their earnings on electronic gadgets, which was exactly treble than that of women.
However
, women spent more on
food
and slightly higher on
music
. But their expenditure on videos was almost ignorable proportionate to their
income
. Children,
on the other hand
, spent only around one-tenth of their
income
on
food
while
a large ratio on
music
and electronic tools, 41 and 35 per cent consecutively. Youngsters' expense proportion on
video
was much higher than that of adults, more than 7 times to be more precise. Among those children, boys spent the most proportion of their
income
on
video
and electronics, 20 and 28 per cent sequentially,
while
girls preferred more ratio on
food
and
music
.
