You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The figures give information about economic growth and household expenditure across a range of categories.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

The line graph shows economic growth over a 15-year period ending in 2010. The pie charts give a breakdown of household spending in four separate years over the same period. Viewed together, there appears to be a relationship between economic growth and patterns of spending.

According to the graph, economic growth began at a modest 1 per cent, rose modestly, then remained more or less steady at about 2 per cent until 2003. It grew sharply and peaked at nearly 5 per cent in 2005, then fell dramatically to -5 per cent in 2008, before recovering to 1 per cent in 2010.

Over the same period, changes in patterns of spending were evident. In periods of low or negative growth, spending on housing and food accounted for a larger proportion of total household expenditure than in times of relative prosperity. Conversely, in times of economic growth, spending on less essential items such as travel, entertainment and clothing tended to increase. This is particularly evident in the chart for 2005 where together these three items appear to account for over 15 per cent of total spending.

In summary, the figures show that in times of hardship, households spend a greater proportion of their income on necessities whereas, in times of prosperity, more is spent on non-essentials.
