Overall, there was a significant increase in the proportion of the expenditure on other services and goods although housing recorded a slight fall in the proportion of household expenditure in the end of the period. It is noticeable that while the allowance for transportation was the highest percentage, food was by far the highest proportion on household expenditure over the period.
In 2010, the proportion of expenditure on food in the meantime was three times higher than that in 1960, it rose steadily from just over one in ten to nearly one in third, while the proportion of expenditure on the other needs and transportation was much higher in the end of the period than households spending on food, at 14% for transportation and nearly a fifth in 2010.
