The following table indicates some information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002.
It can be noticed from the table that most of the national consumer expenditure went into food, drinks or tobacco, followed by clothing or footwear, while cost for leisure or education occupied the smallest proportion among them.
Besides it also shows that food, drinks as well as tobacco were more popular in Turkey than in other countries. It took 32.14% of all spending, twice that in Sweden.
But in the area of clothing or footwear, Turkey just ranked the second with only 6.63%, quite far from that in Italy. Meanwhile, compared with other countries, people in Sweden still had the least appetite for buying clothing or footwear.
As to leisure or education, it is obvious to find that Turkey again had the highest percentage of expenditure among those five countries, whereas in Spain only 1.98% had gone into this area.
Therefore, it can be concluded that a large part of consumers preferred to spend more money on food or likewise other than clothing or leisure. But the specific distribution of spending on these items varies a lot in different countries.
