The given bar chart compares average spending per week for families in a specific country

between 1968 and 2018.

Overall, it is obvious that household goods remained unchanged, while the spending on
accommodation, transport and leisure increased, the inverse was true for the other needs.
Another key feature is that food took first place in 1968, but its position was replaced by leisure
50 years later.
Food took up the highest proportion of total weekly expenditure (35%) in the first year.
However, the figure for food plummeted to around 18% 50 years later. Similarly, fuel and
power dropped from 6% in 1968 to 4% in 2018. The figures for both clothing and footwear and
personal products halved for 5 decades (from 10% to 5% for the former and from 8% to 4% for
the latter).
Regarding the remaining categories, accommodation started at 10%, followed by a rapid jump
of 8% in 2018. Meanwhile, the figures for transport and leisure were almost the same (roughly
8%), before gradually increasing to 14% and 22% respectively in the year 2018. Last but not
least, the share of household products remained stable at approximately 8%.
