What are the causes of this?
Does it have positive or negative effect on society?
There has been a tendency in many countries over recent year for more people of all ages to choice to live alone. This essay will discuss the reasons for this and explain why this can have both advantage and disadvantage for society.
One reason for this trend is economic. People are generally more effluent then in the past, and this means that they can afford to make the choice to live alone, something not always possible in the past. In addition to this, there are also cultural factor there used to be more to marry young and think about having a family now out people desire self improvement and will marry net to divorce if there marry is not happy also the development in in communication technology such as social media means that people can live alone but still feel connected to other.
I would argue that this development has positive as well as negative impacts on society. A positive impact is that individuals who are young and single have helped to revitalise cities around the world, as they are more likely to live in Central locations and socialise, spent spend money and participate in public life then those living with other. However, a drawback is that some people living alone who experience problems may not have to outlet to talk about them. This lack of social support could lead to more mental health problem in the general population, which would need to be dealt with by public health care services.
To conclude, economic and cultural factors, and change in communication have resulted in more people live alone, and although this has benefits to society, there are also negative impacts.
