The two pie charts provide demographic data about the civil status in Canada and Australia. Overall, Canada and Australia exhibit similar percentages for most of the various statuses analyzed, though there are a few exceptions.
In fact, Canadian people who either never married or are widowed individually account for 7% of the population, higher by approximately 1-2% than the shares in Australia, whereas the percentage of divorced couples in the latter country (2%) is twice that of the former. However, apart from these mentioned similarities, striking differences have also been found. First of all, 53% of the people living in Canada are separated, while the remaining 29% is married. In contrast, in Australia the largest proportion (46%) is married and the 41% currently separated.
Moreover, data on same-sex marriage is unavailable for Australia, while Canada reports that 3% of its population is engaged in this.
From this report we can conclude that the majority of the population are either separated or married in these countries. Furthermore, Australian marriages seem to be more successful in the long-term in comparison to the Canadian ones, which, on the other hand, more frequently end with legal separation.
