the proportion of income adults and children spent on four common items in the UK in 1998

the proportion of income adults and children spent on four common items in the UK in 1998 PK1w

The table illustrates the percentage of income that was spent on food, electronic equipment music and videos by both adults and children, divided by gender in the UK in 1998. Overall, adult UK residents spent the most percentages of their income on food and electronic devices while children’s expenditure was mostly on music and video. To illustrate, an average adult English spent over one-fourth of the income on food in 2005 while 15 per cent of the income went on purchasing electronic devices. Their spending on music and video were quite low, only 4% and 2% respectively. Interestingly, men spent 21% of their earning on electronic gadgets, which was exactly treble than that of women. However, women spent more on food and slightly higher on music. But their expenditure on videos was almost ignorable proportionate to their income. Children, on the other hand, spent only around one-tenth of their income on food while a large ratio on music and electronic tools, 41 and 35 percentages consecutively. Youngsters expense proportion on video was much higher than that of adults, more than 7 times to be more precise. Among those children, boys spent the most proportion of their income on video and electronics, 20 and 28 percentages sequentially, while girls preferred more ratio on food and music.
