Family Spending provides analysis of household expenditure broken down by age and income, household composition, socio-economic characteristics and geography. This year's report focuses upon three principal topics: expenditure on housing; expenditure by children and the impact of equivalising income. The result is one of the most accurate pictures available of what households in the UK spend their money on today. The report is an invaluable tool for developing strategies based on consumer spending patterns.
