The pie charts represent the marital status of two countries’ populations, Canada and Australia. Each slice corresponds to the percentage of a given status present in the county’s inhabitants. Overall, both in Canada and Australia, the majority of the population is either married or separated but not divorced. In contrast, the less common demographic is the divorcees.
In Canada, more than half of the population is separated but not divorced, reaching 53%. Additionally, nearly a fourth of the population (29%) is currently married. In Australia, however, the percentages of married and separated but not single people are much more similar, 46% and 41%, respectively. The Canadian citizens who have never wed and the widowers share the same percentage in the population, 7%. Comparatively, these demographics are also similar in Australia’s population (5% and 2%). In both nations, divorced individuals are in the minority, being 1% of Canada’s population and 2% of Australia’s population. Notably, one major difference between both countries is the same sex marriage, as it encompasses 3% of Canada’s residents but is absent in Australia’s community.
In summary, the larger portion of both countries is represented either by married individuals or by those who encounter themselves separated but not divorced. Divorcees are the least represented demographic. Interestingly, Australia does not have register of same sex marriages, as opposed to Canada.
