The table gives a breakdown of five European countries’ income rates distributed over four items.
In general, housing is a primary sector to which France, Germany and UK population allocate the largest proportions of money, while Turkish and Spanish households do the same with food and drink. It is also interesting to note that clothing is the category for which four out of the five countries separate the least amount of their income. Only Turkey is an outlier in this term, spending the least for entertainment.
Starting with the largest sectors, the UK takes the lead in expending on housing, closely followed by Germany and France, at 37%, 33% and 31% respectively. Turkey and Spain, however, hold slightly lower percentage points, with the former standing at 20%, while the latter constitutes 2 percent as low. In contrast, those two countries lead in allocating for food and drink. Turkey comes on top of the list with 36%, and Spain accompanies with 5% less. The other three countries, meanwhile, put around 25% of their income aside for food and drink each.
Moving to clothing and entertainment, Germans spend more on these sectors than the remaining nations(15% for clothing and 19% for entertainment). The expenditure of the UK population makes exactly the same proportions for both clothing and entertainment, accounting for 11%. By contrast, France and Spain allot twice as much to entertainment as they do to clothing. Eventually, Turkish people say that they spend 2 percent more for clothing than entertainment, at 12% and 10%.
