The two pie charts illustrate the percentage of total spending per person on different types of expenses in one country in the years 1990 and 2010.
Overall, the most noticeable change over the two decades is the shift in spending from household goods to entertainment and health. While some categories experienced relatively small fluctuations, others, such as food and health, changed significantly in terms of proportion.
In 1990, the largest portion of personal spending was allocated to household goods at 26.5%. This figure dropped slightly to 23% in 2010. Housing also saw a modest increase from 17% in 1990 to 17.5% in 2010. Meanwhile, spending on entertainment rose significantly, from 15.3% to 18.1%, making it the highest single category in 2010.
Health expenditure almost doubled over the 20-year period, increasing from 4.7% to 8.7%. In contrast, spending on food decreased notably from 14% to 10.7%, and transport also dropped slightly from 12.5% to 11.3%. Clothing saw a minimal increase from 8% to 8.7%, while electricity and gas remained stable at 2% in both years.
