The chart below gives information about how families in one country spent their weekly income in 1968 and in 2018.

The provided bar chart illustrates the percentages of average household expenditure on a weekly basis in one country in 1968 and 2018

In general, after 5 decades, the proportion of spending on food reduced significantly while there were sharp increases in the figures for housing, transport, and leisure. As a result, the largest cost switched from food to leisure.

To be specific, 35% of families’ weekly income, which was the highest proportion in 1968, was used for food. In 2018, however, this figure dropped by half to approximately 17%. The percentages of the family budget allocated to clothing and footwear, fuels and power, and personal goods also experienced similar declines, so these figures ranged from 4% to 5% in 2018. Only that of household goods remained unchanged at 8%.

In contrast, this 50-year period witnessed a leap in the cost of leisure, from 9% to 22%, which eventually became the biggest cost. The spending on housing accounted for 10% of the family budget in 1968 and rose to 19% in 2018. Meanwhile, a moderate growth from 8% to 14% was also recorded in that of transport.
