The bar chart illustrates a detailed weekly budget chart of families in a country from the year 1968 to 2018.
It is clear that expenditure for food was the highest at the beginning; however, leisure and housing were highest in 2018. Other data are more or less the same.
In 1968, the food expenditure was very high, standing at 35% of the total income; however, surprisingly, this reduced to almost 20% in 2018. Following this, housing was only 10%, and it increased to 19%. Then, household goods stayed the same without any changes, which was 8% in both 1968 and 2018.
Moving on to other data, such as leisure and transportation, although these two spendings were almost the same in 1968, they rose to be the highest on 2018’s weekly budget; leisure activities stood at 22% and transportation at 19%. Finally, other expenditures were the least consumed by the families; they were fuel, clothing and footwear, and personal goods. These were less than 10%, which decreased to 5% in 2018.
