Overall, it is evident that food is the field that declined most dramatically during these 40 years.
Trends concerning leisure, transport, and energy followed a similar line, demonstrating a slight decline. Energy decreased gradually from around 5% to almost 0%. Similarly, transport experienced a drop from 10% to 4%, with a peak in the last decade. Leisure’s figure also slowly fell over, as at the beginning of the research it was around 20%, while in 2000 it reached 12%.
Food spending saw the most dramatic drop, as it collapsed from 35% to 15%.
