The chart below gives information about how families in one country spent

their weekly income in 1968 and in 2018.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart illustrates the weekly spending of families on various
categories in a single country between 1968 and 2018.

Overall, it is evident that families spent the largest proportion of their income
on food in 1968, but this category saw a significant decrease by 2018. In
contrast, spending on fuel and power consistently accounted for the smallest
proportion during the period.

In 1968, spending on food accounted for 35% of weekly income, making it


the highest category. However, over the next 50 years, this figure decreased
significantly to approximately half of its original value. Similarly, spending on
fuel and power, personal goods, and clothing and footwear followed a
downward trend. Among these, fuel and power consistently remained the
category with the lowest spending, at just around 6% in both years.

Spending on household goods remained stable over the 50-year period, at


approximately 7.5%. In contrast, spending on leisure and housing increased
significantly. In 1968, these categories accounted for just under 10% of
weekly spending, but by 2018, they had doubled to over 20%. Additionally,
spending on transport also rose, increasing from 10% in 1968 to
approximately 15% in 2018.
