The line graph compares the percentage of spending on five categories in one European country over the course of 40 years (1960 to 2000)
Overall, spending on all categories experienced a downward trend with the exception of transport.
In 1960, about 35% of the money was spent on food, nearly doubling that of leisure which was at just under 20%. At the same time, less money was allocated for clothing and transport, at about 10% each. Allocations for fuel/energy were insignificant, with its figure being just over 5%.
Over the next 40 years, spending on food underwent a considerable decrease of nearly 15% in 2000. A similar trend can be seen in leisure, clothing, and fuel/energy, with all three categories falling to 11%, 5%, 3% respectively. By contract, growth of the expenditure on transport, with a rise to 15% over the period shown.
