The line graph illustrates the expenditure of Turkish residents on five different types of categories from 1960 to 2000.
Overall, there were downward trends in the proportion of spending on food, leisure, transport, and energy over the given period. Meanwhile, the expense on clothing increased significantly and became the largest spending category by 2000.
In 1960, food accounted for 35% of total spending, which was noticably higher than spending on leisure at 20%. While the expenditure on clothing and transport accounted for about 10% in 1960, the figure for energy was the lowest, at 5%.
In 2000, the expense on clothing increased considerably to 17%, overtaking food spending in the last decade. In contrast, the proportion of spending on food fell dramatically by 20% in 2000. Similarly, the expenditure on leisure and transport reduced sharply to 12% and 3%, respectively. Meanwhile, the figure for energy remained at the lowest level over the years and even slightly reduced to 2% in 2000.
