Why more people than ever are living alone – and what this means for the environment
(2021) In The Conversation- Abstract
- Globally, households are shrinking – more and more people are living alone. In 2016, almost two thirds of all households in the EU were composed of one or two people, with shrinking households also prevalent around the world. As countries move up the human development index, households are expected to continue to shrink.
