The chart below gives information about how families in one country spent their weekly income in 1968 and in 2018.
The bar chart compares different categories where families' weekly income was allocated in one country in the years 1968 and 2018.
Overall
, it is obvious that a significant amount of families' income was allocated to food which was by far the highest proportion of expenditures in 1968. Moreover
, expenses related to fuel and power accounted for the least proportion in both years of 1968 and 2018.
In 1968, 35% of the total amount was dedicated to food products, which was almost twice the figures in 2018. Whereas
leisure activities accounted for the highest expenditures in 2018 which was 22%, this
figure was more than twice the figure in 1968.
On the other hand
, housing and clothing costs were in second place in 1968 which accounted for 10% of the total amount. However
, an equal proportion of 8% was dedicated to household goods in that period which was the same as the figures for personal goods and transport in 1968.Submitted by golriiz23 on
