The bar graph compares how four countries, namely the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan spent their income on five expenditure categories in 2009.
Overall, all countries, with the exception of Japan, spent most on housing compared to healthcare and clothing, which made up the smallest expenditure groups.
Regarding the biggest expenditure categories, Americans expended by far the largest portion of their income on housing in 2009, with a quarter. A similar case could be seen in the UK, Japan and Canada where the share of spending on accommodation was over 20%. Interestingly, Americans and Canadians spent around 15% of their income on food as opposed to Japan and the UK where this figure was over a fifth. Similarly, the level of spending on transportation varied across the countries in question, with Canada and the US showing an approximate figure of 20% while the UK and Japan registered 15% and 10%, respectively.
On the other hand, expenditure on healthcare and clothing was noticeably smaller in all countries. The figure for the former in the US was just under a tenth, and it was even smaller for the other countries with less than 5%. Similarly, only Canada and the UK registered over 5% in terms of spending on clothing while the figure for the US and Japan was slightly less than that.
