Given are the pie charts illustrating how people in Japan and Malaysia allocated their money for five different categories in 2010. Overall, housing was the one that Malaysians spent most of their money on, registering the highest percentage in both charts. In Japan, however, other items and services were the priority when it came to spending. It is also apparent that the greatest difference in money allocation was witnessed in Malaysia, between transport and other goods.
As for housing fees, the amount of money spent on this category in Malaysia was 34%, which accounted for more than one third of the total spending and surpassed that in Japan by 13%. With respect to transport and healthcare, Japan recorded 20% of the average household spending poured into the former and 6% into the latter. Malaysians, in contrast, used only half of the amount by their Japanese counterparts, with 10% and 3%, respectively.
Regarding food, the expenditures on this sector in these nations only showed a minimal gap of 3%, constituting 24% in Japan and 27% in Malaysia. The difference of 3% was also seen in the spending on other products and services but this time, conversely, the segment in Malaysia comprised 26%, which was exceeded by that in Japan, with 29%.
