The bar chart compares the percentage of household spending on five different categories in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Japan in 2009.
It is clear that most countries spent the largest share of their household budgets on housing, while clothing consistently received the lowest percentage across all four countries.
In the United States and Canada, housing was the largest category of expenditure. Americans spent the highest proportion on housing, at approximately 27%, followed by Canadians at around 23%. In both countries, clothing accounted for the smallest share of spending, at just 3% in the US and slightly more in Canada.
In contrast, the spending pattern in the United Kingdom and Japan differed slightly. In the UK, housing also topped the list at nearly 25%, while healthcare received the least spending at around 2%. Japan was the only country where food was the dominant expense, making up nearly 25 per cent of the total expenditure, whereas clothing remained the lowest in Japan, at just under 5 percent.
