The two pie charts above demonstrate the marital status of the citizens of Canada and Australia. Generally, most people in both nations are or have been married, although their martial statuses may vary.
On the one hand, less than one quarter of the people have ended or never started a relationship. This figure is slightly higher for Canada (15%), compared to Australia (13%). In fact, the figures for the percentages of bachelors/spinsters, widowers/widows, and divorced people are overall similar, all at about 6%, 6%, and 1% respectively. Notably, same sex marriage is allowed in Canada, and people engaged in this type of marriage account for 1% of the Canadian population.
On the other hand, Canadians are more likely to become separated in a relationship. For Canadians, the rate of people ending up separated from their partners (53%) is almost double of that of remaining married (29%). However, for Australians, the rate of people being separated (41%) is just slightly less than that of sustaining their marriage (46%).
