The line graph compares the proportion of expenditure in five categories in a European country between 1960 and 2000.
Overall, all categories experienced different trends in the time period. While food, leisure, transport, and energy decreased, the figure for clothing increased gradually in the given period.
As the graph shows, the category of the food was the highest in 1960, at around 33%. The following decade its figure decreased to exactly 30%, and from this period its percentage continued felling and it reached about 15% in 2000. In the second rank was the leisure with 20% in the beginning of the period, but the figure of it also started to decrease gradually to just over 10% in 2000. The categories of the transport and energy were 10% and about 5%, respectively. These figures also witnessed a gradual decrease with under about 8% at the end of the period.
By contrast, the expenditure to clothing started at just under 10% in 1960, and the following decades its percentage increased gradually. In 1990 the figure surpassed the leisure, and in 2000 it reached the first rank at around 15%, that is a little more than the food.
