The pie charts below compare the typical household spending in Malaysia and Japan across five

categories in 2010. It can be seen that Malaysians spent a higher percentage of their income on housing
and food than Japanese people did, while Malay people spent a higher percentage of their income on
healthcare and transportation.

The diagram shows that Malay people spent the most on housing (34% on average), accounting for the
majority of their spending across the five categories. They had to spend 27% of their income on food,
and nearly the same amount on other products and services. The smallest portion of their spending, 3%,
went toward medical expenses. They spent 10% of their budget on transportation.

However, compared to other people, Japanese people spent a higher percentage of their income on
various goods and services, with food coming in at second place (24%). The smallest percentage of their
expenditures—6%—went toward health care. 20% on average of their budget was spent on
transportation, followed by 21% on housing.

In conclusion, Japanese citizens spent more on transportation and healthcare than Malay citizens did,
while food and housing costs were lower overall.

The pie graphs compare the top reasons for immigration to and emigration from the UK in 2014.

Overall, the main factors driving migration to the UK were definite employment and formal education.
Additionally, the percentages of immigration and emigration in the remaining four categories were
comparable.

While 28% of people immigrated for a specific job, the number of people who left for the same reason
was slightly lower, at 26%. 31% of immigrants and 28% of emigrants had formal education, a difference
of 3%. Compared to 15% of emigration, only 14% of people move abroad in search of employment.

Similar numbers of immigration and emigration for no apparent reason were recorded in the UK in the
same year, at 7% and 8%, respectively. In terms of the accompanying reason, emigration had a higher
percentage (14%), compared to immigration (10%). Finally, the remaining factors, which accounted for
10% of immigration and 9% of emigration, were comparable in both groups.
