The pie chart illustrates how the expenditure on households varied in a particular European country in 1990 and 2020.
Overall, the spending on housing, transport, and entertainment increased over the given period, leaving aside a slight decline in the percentage of food and clothing expenses, and the remaining categories remained stable. Notably, food expenditure was overtaken by that of housing, indicating the dominance proportion among the six spending.
In terms of the categories that experienced growth, in 1990, the percentage of housing expenses ranked second at 25% of the total household spending, followed by the contribution with 15% and 10% respectively for that of transport and entertainment spending. In 2020, the figure for transport accounted for 20%, while entertainment made up a lower proportion of 15%. Similarly, it was witnessed that housing expenditure experienced a steady rise at 35%, which eventually elevated them to the first position in the same year.

Meanwhile, the spending on clothing and other types of household constituted 10% and 5%, respectively. However, in 2020, spending on the former and the latter ended with similar allocations at 5% each.
