The table illustrates the proportion of monthly household income five European countries spend on food and drink, housing, clothing and entertainment.

The table illustrates the proportion of monthly household income five European countries spend on food and drink, housing, clothing and entertainment. 0jXn

The table chart shows the amount of household income that five countries in Europe spent per month on four items. The data has been calibrated in percentage. Overall, all five countries spend the majority of their income on food and drink and housing. However, the expense was far less on clothing and entertainment. It is clear from the chart, housing is the largest expenditure item for France, Germany and the UK, as all of them spend around one third of their income on this, at 30%, 33% and 37% respectively. In contrast, they spend around a quarter on food and drink. Surprisingly, this pattern is exactly the opposite of Turkey and Spain, which spend a fifth of their income on housing, but one-third on food and drink. Furthermore, spending on clothing and entertainment are the two items which all five countries spend much less. Regarding clothes, France and Spain spend the least, at less than 10% on the other hand, the other three countries spend around the same amount ranging between 12% and 15%. Germany spends one fifth on entertainment, at 19%. Whereas, UK and Turkey spend approximately half of this amount.
