Given is the line graph providing information about the proportion of expenditure in a particular European country in 4 years.
It can be explicitly observed from the diagram that a majority of spending experienced a downward trend except for the clothing category.
To begin with, in 1960, food was the most predominant at more than 30%, and this was followed by leisure at 20%. However, a dramatic decline was witnessed in both categories; especially, the data for food had been halved in 2000 compared to that in 1960. As a result, the proportion of food and leisure had been ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively in 2000.
As regards clothing, the data for this category had increased significantly from under 10% to approximately 15%, which had replaced that for food to become the top of the list in the last two years. Reversely, the period had witnessed a gradual decrease in transport and energy; particularly, the data for transport dropped considerably by 5% while consumers spend almost nothing on energy in 2000.
