The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002.
Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category - 2002
The given table illustrates how consumers in five distinctive regions spent on three different categories in 2002, represented in percentage.
As can be seen form the table, it is evident that food, drinks and tobacco were what people spent most of their money on; at the same time, the leisure and education category caught the least attention from them.
It is noticeable that there was a great demand on food, drinks and tobacco, costing people 15% to roughly one third of their earnings. Although Turkey was the leading country in this category, Turkish also spent much on leisure and education and clothing and footwear, accounted for 4.35% and 6.63% in total expenditure respectively.
At the same time, Italian paid more attention to the fashion category and spent the most among the five countries with exactly 9%. It seems that they had little demand on food, drinks and tobacco and this category occupied for only 16.36% of their expenditure. Whereas, Spain had the most remarkable patterns in how consumers spent - rather small amount of money on all the categories with the least spent on leisure and education - only 1.98%.
I really appreciate your comments on what my writing lacks in and what I can do to improve. Many thanks!
