Gender Imbalance of the Day: Women Live Alone More Often Than Men
In America, 56 percent of single households are made up of women.
Four million more women live alone than men, according to an article in Fortune by sociologist Eric Klinenberg. Klinenberg's latest piece explores single living in America (as does his recent book Going Solo).
In cities, where people have always lived alone, this isn't news. Over at Atlantic Cities, we've documented a more recent recession-era trend of people "doubling up," or sharing homes to save money. There's also evidence that 20-somethings - the so-called boomerang generation - are living at home longer nowadays.
