The pie charts illustrate the percentage of salary spent on six areas (housing, food, clothing, leisure, transport, and studies) by young individuals in two countries (Canada and Poland).
Overall, Canada’s expenditures are evenly distributed across all the categories, while the situation in Poland is radically different.
Looking at the second chart, it is clear that the figures for studies accounted for 43% in Poland, while in Canada the share was only 15%. The proportion of spendings on transport in Poland accounted for 26%, which is approximately twice as much as Canada’s expenditure. Clothing represented 19% of the total in Canada, whereas in Poland it accounted for 11%.
Taking a closer look at both charts, we can see that young people in Canada spent more on housing, food, and leisure activities than Poland did. Poland’s expenditure of funds on leisure activities was 10%, whereas Canada’s expenditure on this area was twice as much. In each country, spending on food and housing accounted for an equal share of total expenditure. However, these proportions varied when two countries were compared, standing at 5% in Poland and 16% in Canada.
