The graph illustrates the proportion of household expenditure on food, leisure, clothing, transport, and energy in a distinct European country from 1960 to 2000. Overall, the figure for energy, clothing, leisure, and food decreased gradually, while that for transport increased consistently. Notably, the gap between several expenditure categories became much smaller by the end of the period.
Regarding the lowest figures, the least amount of money was spent on energy over the period. It was 5% in 1960, which was the lowest point, and decreased steadily to under 1% by the end of the period. When it comes to buying a cloth, it was 10% at its starting point and declined gradually to 5% until 2000.
Approximately 33% of the money was spent on food which was the biggest proportion in this category in 1960. However, it declined by degrees to about 14% which was the largest change in 2000. As for the money spent on leisure activities, it began with 20% in 1960 and fell to its lowest level consistently in 2000. Finally, transport became the largest expenditure category by the final stage of the period despite having the lowest proportion.
