Modern life and modern living today means more people are living alone than ever before. By the end of 2020, one-third of all households in the UK will comprise of solo households – that is, people living alone. While the largest group is pensioners, we are witnessing more people in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s living alone – a growing trend in cities and across the western world.
In the UK, it is thought this pattern is more likely to occur in urban areas like London and Glasgow, a pattern followed in other major European and US cities. European cities are leading the way where 47% of households in Sweden, Copenhagen and 41% in Germany are solo households.
