A 2022 study by Morgan Stanely, says that 45 per cent of women of 25-44 years of age will be single by 2030. Half of the women of childbearing age will be single by 2030. The major reasons behind this are said to be:
A 2021 Pew Research said the the number of men and women staying single in the US has seen a sharp rise from the '90s to 2019. As per the research, four in ten adults aged 25-54 age were single in 2019. This means that 38 per cent of the adults in the age range were single which is a sharp rise from 29 per cent in 1990.
Only 53 percent of adults of the same age group are married which is a huge decline from 67 per cent in 1990. Even though there is a gender gap between men and women who are unpartnered, it is not so huge. As per the report, in 2019, 39 per cent of men were unpartnered compared to 36 per cent of women.
According to the 2022 Current Population Survey (CPS), 40 per cent of adults were single in 2022.
As far as the gender gap of men and women being single is concerned, it has also decreased. As per a study, the gender difference of people being single (men and women) has decreased from 25 per cent around 2014 to 10 per cent around 2021. Among adults aged 18-29, the gender difference is big with 75 per cent being single compared to 66 per cent of women.
As per Pew Research, Only 26 per cent of single men had a bachelor's degree compared to 37 per cent of partnered men who had finished their education. On the other hand, 33 per cent of single women had finished a Bachelor's degree and 43 per cent of partnered women.
As far as the economic aspect is concerned, 73 per cent of unpartnered men were employed while 91 per cent of partnered men were employed. In the case of women, 77 per cent of single women were employed as compared to only 74 per cent of married women.
So what do you think about the overall conclusion? Is being single worth it?
