The bar chart illustrates how families’ budget

has expenditures each week in one country(in the

same country?) comparing 1968 and 2018. Overall, at first
glance, it can be clearly seen that the vast majority of income
was spent on food in 1968, while in 2018, the priority was on
leisure and housing. It can also be noticed that fuel and power
took the least amount of spending money on, in both periods.

Looking at the chart in detail, it has been depicted that 35% of

the budget in 1968 was dedicated to food, however, it fell by
half in 2018, which accounted for nearly 15% of their weekly
income. On the other hand, leisure and housing have doubled
per cent of income in 2018 compared to 196, from 10% to
20%, approximately.

Apart from that, it is worth mentioning that overall family’s

spending saw a decrease in fuel and power as it did not
surpass 10% of their total weekly income,
moreover household goods showed the same amount of
money allocation expenditure in any of the years, which
represented roughly 10% for the week in 1968 and 2018.

In general, it can be observed that leisure and housing were

the main priority for families in 2018, in contrast
to 1968 when food took most of the distribution.
