The two pie charts compare the allocation of money to six different decades of household at a country in 1950 and 2010.
Overall, it is clear that while the percentage of spending on Housing, and Education saw their spending decreasing, Food, Health care, Transportation and Other experienced declines. Additionally, the highest figure was recorded in Housing in the initial year, but it was overtaken by Food in 2010.
As can be observed in the pie charts, the proportion of money spent on Food comprised just over a tenth in the first year before increasing slightly to a fifth in 2010. Similarly, the proportion of expenses on Other accounted for a minor percentage in 1950. In the next 60 years, the percentage of expending invested in Other comprised nearly a fifth. A contrasting pattern was observed in materials. At a considerable 72,1% of the total expenditure on household in the initial year, this figure decreased rapidly by about a half.
Likewise, the percentage of money invested in Education was a mere 6,6% in the initial year, but later went down slightly by only 0,3 percentage points in 2010. Meanwhile, the figure for Health care constituted just over a 2,45. In the next 60 years, there was a slow rise to a modest percentage in this spending. A similar pattern was observed in materials. 3,3% of the total spending in 1950 was distributed to Transportation. Then, it witnessed a significant rise to approximately 14% in the end of the period.
