Answer 3

The table shows the percentage of consumer expenditure in three groups of items in Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Turkey.

In general, most people used to spend their budgets on basic needs such as food, beverages or tobacco. However, very few people pay attention to recreational activities. 32.14% of the Turkish population spent on eating, drinking and smoking, which became the highest number in this group. Leisure activities are the most popular in Turkey, with 4.35%. Ireland's consumption expenditure on food/drinking and tobacco was the second largest number, accounting for 28,91%. Around 16% of the Swedish and Italian population spends on food, beverages and tobacco. This was only half of Turkey's figure. However, education and relaxation activities in these two countries were very much spent, about 3.2%. The percentage of people engaged in clothing and footwear was the highest in Italy, at 9%, while the number of the other four countries was between 5% and 6%. The least popular form of consumer spending in Spain was Leisure and Education. Perhaps these activities were not yet popular with the Spanish during this period.
