The bar chart below shows shares of expenditures for five major categories in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Japan in the year 2009.
The bar graph illustrated the spending in five categories for four countries, namely the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Japan.
The five categories in discussions are food, housing, transportation, health care and clothing. The spending on housing, food and transportation
The United States took a lead on housing and health car spending and claimed 26% and 7% of the budget respectively. The United States came last when it come to food and clothing.
Canada is the leader when it comes to transportation and clothing, at 22% and 6% respectively. We can see the rationale why this is a priority for Canadians. Living in harsh climate required good transportation and warm clothes. Surprisingly, Canada came last in the housing category at only 21%.
Next up is the United Kingdom. The UK did not lead the group in any category, however it came in second in three categories: food at 20%, housing at 24% and clothing at 6%. The UK is the country that spent the least of its budget on health care, it is pegged at only 2% of the shares expenditure.
One interesting fact is that the Japanese lead the group in food spending yet that country has no problem with obesity. One can presumed that the budget was meant to teach healthy eating habits and promote fitness. Japan took the last title on transportation at 10%, which makes total sense. Japan’s culture is about walking and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
In conclusion, the United States and Canada have very similar spending habit on food at 14% and 15% respectively. Canada and the UK shared the same perspective on clothing, namely at 6% and 5.5% respectively.
