The given chart compares and contrasts data on the differences in the proportion of individuals who used three types of items in five different countries in 2002.
By and large, as clearly shown in the table, an overwhelming majority of people spent on consuming products in Turkey and Ireland. It can also be seen that the more they bought clothes, the lower the percentages of relaxation and education was recorded and the less fashion items they bought.
A deep analysis of the table reveals that the percentages of consuming food/ drinks and tobacco in Turkey made up the lion’s share with an impressive 32.14%, followed by this rate in Ireland, at under 30%. Interestingly enough,while clothing/ footwear expenditure witnessed a similar proportion of roughly 6.50% in these countries, the rate of consumers spent on leisure or education in Turkey was two times higher than that of Ireland, at approximately 4.5% and 2.3%, respectively. In stark contrast, this figure in Spain experienced the least of nearly 2%; however, this was compensated by the fact that the third most common of consuming foods was recorded in this place.
Shifting the focus to the other three countries, almost 16% of people in Sweden and Italy used consuming products.Notably, with a meager 5.4% of those used fashion items in Sweden, as opposed to that of Italy with a whopping 9%, making it the most extensive among the three remaining countries. It is noticeable that the figure for using leisure/ education activities in these two areas indicated some similar respective proportion, with around 3.2%.
