The two pie charts compare the marital status of the populations in Canada and Australia. Overall, the largest groups in both countries are ‘Married’ and ‘Separated but not divorced’, although the proportions differ. Canada presents six categories, while Australia includes five.
In Canada, the proportion of people who are separated but not divorced is the highest, accounting for 53%, followed by those who are married at 29%. These two categories clearly dominate compared to the rest. ‘Never married’ and ‘Widowed’ each represent 7%, while ‘Divorced’ makes up only 1%. A notable point is that 3% of the population is in a same-sex marriage, which appears only in the Canadian data.
In contrast, in Australia, ‘Married’ people form the largest group at 46%, slightly higher than those who are ‘Separated but not divorced’ at 41%. The difference between these two groups is smaller than that observed in Canada. The remaining categories include ‘Widowed’ (6%), ‘Single’ (5%), and ‘Divorced’ (2%) respectively.
