The pie charts demonstrate the principal goods and services are bought by households in a country in 1920 and 2000. The data is given in percentages and divided into nine categories: food, household goods, clothing, housing, education, travelling and communication, fuel and light, medical care, recreation and other items. It is obvious that the high levels of spending money on food in 1920 means that other modes, such as recreation and travelling and communication are bought less in comparison with 2000.
One of the prominent features of this data is that while in 1920 slightly under three-fourth of all expenditure was food, in 2000 the figure was less than a quarter, standing at 21.8%. It is apparent that getting household goods is almost identical in both years, with 3.2% in 1920 and only 0.1% fewer in 2000.
One major difference between 2000 and 1920 years is that households expend over a quarter as much money on recreation and other items in the former: compared with the latter. The figures account for 34.2% and 7.7% respectively. Similarly, people prefer to spend income on travelling and communication by four times more in 2000 than in 1920.
