The bar chart compares the percentage of weekly income that families spent on various categories in 1968 and 2018.
Overall, families spent a higher proportion of their income on housing, transport, and leisure in 2018 than in 1968, while spending on food, clothing, fuel and power, and personal goods declined. The proportion spent on household goods remained largely unchanged.
In 1968, food was the dominant expense, accounting for around 35% of weekly income, but this figure fell sharply to about 17% by 2018. In contrast, spending on leisure rose significantly from approximately 8% to 22%, becoming the largest spending category in 2018. Housing and transport also saw considerable increases, reaching roughly 19% and 15% respectively in 2018.
On the other hand, spending on fuel and power slightly decreased and remained the category with the lowest proportion in both years. Expenditure on clothing and footwear dropped by about 5%, while personal goods fell by 4%. Meanwhile, household goods remained stable at around 7% in both years.
