The given bar graph illustrates the distributions of families in a specific country categorised by their weekly income in different years 1968 and 2018.
Generally speaking it can be said that the way families spent their income had changed significantly by 2018 compared with 1968. Most notably, leisure and housing had overtaken food as the largest areas of expenditure.
In 1968 families spent most on food, accounting for 35% of their weekly income, while in 2018 this figure decreased by almost half to around 17%. In 1968, the proportion of weekly income spent in any of the other categories never exceeded 10%. However, leisure and housing both showed a significant increase in 2018, replacing food as the largest expenses with approximately 22% and 19% of family income respectively.
Expenditure on transport also rose, to almost 15% of weekly income, whilst money spent on household goods remained at roughly 7%. In comparison, clothing and footwear, fuel and power, and personal goods all saw a reduction to no more than 5% of weekly income.
