The pie charts illustrate the figures for average household spending in Malaysia and Japan in the year 2010.
Overall, it is clear that expenditure on housing and food together made up more than a half and two fifth of the total in Malaysia and Japan respectively.
Households in Malaysia on average spent roughly a third of their money on housing, whereas the same category made up just over a fifth in Japan in 2010. Expenditure on food was the second largest category in both these nations with Malaysians spending a little more than the Japanese (27% to 24% respectively).
It is also visible that Japanese households spent more money on transport and health care. In fact, the proportion of transport costs accounted for a fifth in Japan, while families in Malaysia allocated a tenth of their budget for the same purpose. Japanese families also spent twice more on healthcare than Malaysians (6% to 3%). The remaining percentage of money was spent on other goods and services in both countries.
