ANSWER
Two pie charts below provided information about expenditures on various households in 1920 and 2000.
Not surprisingly, food was the fundamental and principal element of people’s budget in the earlier year, making up over two thirds of the total, at 71.9% in 1920, far more over than the proportion of flue and light and expenses on entertainment that constituted 6.6% and 7.7% respectively, not to mention items like household goods, clothing and the rest of others, which even less than 5% of the total spending.
In 2000, replacing expenses on food, payment for recreation and other items became the most, accounting for 34.50%, nearly 5 times as much as the number of 4 scores ago. While spending on food shrank to about one third, at 21.80%. Entering 21st century, it seems people’s household consumption tended to be multiple. Except the largest two, the rest other subjects were consisted of almost half of the whole. As expenditures on travelling and communication expanded to 14.30% from 3.30% in the last century, spending on house, clothing, education and medical care also increased by times, just to different extents, though, none of them was over 10%. It showed spending on household goods and flue and light, whereas, almost remained the same level, while both with a marginal decline.
Generally speaking, expenses on different items of households became more even in 2000, comparing with 20th century when food had the absolute priority of people’s consumption.
