The chart below gives information about how families in one country spend their weekly income in 1968 and in 2018. Summaries the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart demonstrates data on spending weekly earnings by households in a specific country between 1968 and 2018.
Overall
, it can be seen that families spent most of their incomes on food and leisure, in 1968 and 2018 respectively.
While
the expenditures on fuel and power had the lowest rate in both years. In 1986, the cost of food was 35% of total weekly income.
Whereas
, by 2018,
this
amount decreased dramatically to 17%.
On the other hand
, leisure, which was considered one of the lowest expenses, increased significantly to over 20%. Meanwhile, the expenditures on housing and transport rose from 10% to almost 20% and 8% to nearly 15% respectively in these two years.
However
, for three other sources of costs including fuel and power, clothing and footwear and personal goods, we can see the opposite trends. The amount of money that households spent on these expenditures fell down in 2018.
Finally
, the only expense that remained steady in both years was households.
