The two pie chart displays the percentages on what is the marital status of Canadians and Australian inhabitants.
Overall
, in both countries, the highest numbers are for

Canada
having a higher
percentage
than Australia,
while
most Australians,

of being married in
Canada
stood at 53%,
while
married couples had only a
percentage
of 29%. The other categories have lower data, with only 7% for
people

On the contrary
, in Australia, having a
percentage
of 46%,
people
are more likely to be married, a similar
percentage
is shown for married
people
who only separated with about 41%. So,
in contrast
with

Canada
, widowed
people
have 1% less, with only 6%,
