The charts show the percentage of income spent on food and other goods in 3 European countries from 1998 – 2008

Task

The two bar charts compare the proportion of income paid for food and other goods in France, Germany and England in two years, 1998 and 2008. 

Overall, a higher percentage of earnings was used for those two categories in each country over the 10-year period. In 1998, Germany recorded the highest proportions of spending but in 2008, the figures for France ranked top. 

As for food, Germans expended a quarter of their income on this category in 1998, which increased by only 5% after 10 years. However, France experienced the most significant increase from 15% to reach a peak of 40% in 2008. In England, they did not allocate much of their income for this category, at 10% and 15% respectively. 

In terms of other goods, roughly 17% of income in Germany went on this group, doubling the figures in France and England. However, after a decade, while Germany only recorded a marginal increase of just over 5%, spending of France and England took up 40% and 35% respectively.
