The pie charts illustrate the spending habits of people in India in 2000 and 2020.
It is clear that food was the highest spending habit in 2000, while housing became largest share in 2020. Entertainment and education consistently accounted the lowest share in both years.
In 2000, food spending habits was the largest category approximately, at 40%, followed by housing spent at 22%. Transport, education, and entertainment made up similar proportion at 18%, 10% and 10% respectively. Food alone spent more almost double the share of housing, which clearly show how very important food was at that time.
By 2020, the pattern had changed significantly. Housing had become the largest expenditure, raised to 30%. Food had fallen sharply to just 25%. Entertainment had risen to 18%, while transport had fallen slightly to 15%. Education also rose slightly to 12%, and it remained the smallest category overall, the most dramatic change was therefore in food, which decrease by a huge 15% over the whole two decades.
