The chart belows gives information about how families in one country spent their weekly income in 1968 and in 2018
The bar chart illustrates data about what families spend their weekly income on for a duration of two time periods; 1968 and 2018, which is broken down into eight categories.
Overall
, it is evident that the majority of income was used for food during 1968, whereas
it went to luxuries in 2018.
One notable observation is the significantly large proportion of 35% that went towards food during 1968. Moreover
, accommodation and fashion were positively correlated at 10% respectively. Likewise
, about 7% of income was spent on household items, personal goods, and transportation.
On the other hand
, food declined by more than half, whereas
it doubled by more than half for leisure in 2018. Thus
, the majority of money spent during 2018 was predominantly held by leisure at about 27%. Furthermore
, housing increased dramatically from 10% to 18%. Hence
, the only items that both years had in common were fuel and electricity, which were the least spent on for both years.Submitted by jessicajreichel on
