The pie charts illustrate the percentage distribution of different sectors of families’ expenditure: housing, food, transport, healthcare, and entertainment in one country from 2000 to 2020.
Overall, it is evident that there were noticeable changes in spending over the two decades. Housing category experienced a dramatic decline, while food and transport sectors moderately increased. Expenditure on healthcare and entertainment remained the same throughout the period.
In detail, housing accounted for 40%, which was the largest share in 2000. However, this figure fell significantly to 30% in 2020. Conversely, expenditure on food was 25% in 2000, then this figure rose to 30% at the end of the period. Similarly, transport sector accounted for 15% in 2000, before going up to 20% to 2020, meaning possible changes in transportation pattern or commuting pattern. However, healthcare and entertainment categories, both accounted for 10%, which were the smallest proportion, remained consistently stable throughout the period.
