The pie charts compare the shares of five categories in global expenditure, as well as how the global population is distributed.
Overall, the largest proportion of money in the world is allocated to food, while transport, housing, and clothing are other significant items. Moreover, the population of Asia is responsible for the largest group of humans.
According to the first chart, the most significant amounts are paid for food (almost a quarter of global expenditure), and transport (almost 20%), while housing also accounts for a considerable proportion (12%). The least among the four is spent on clothing (only 6 percent), and the remaining 40% is spent on a variety of other items.
The second chart shows that there is a significant difference between the population of Asia and other continents, since approximately three out of every five people live in Asia. Europe and the Americas share similar proportions and together account for roughly one-third of the world’s population, while the inhabitants of Africa form a mere one-tenth.
