[交流] Singletons on rise

Finding a partner and settling down has long been convention in many countries. New data, however, suggests that the trend may be changing.
In 2010, the US census found that nearly half of all US adults— 100 million — are single and 31 million live alone, the highest rates in the country’s history. The assumption has always been that these singles are socially awkward and lead miserable lives.
But for many it’s not because they can’t find a suitable partner — it’s because they choose a life of independence.
After conducting more than 300 interviews and looking at sociological data, Eric Klinenberg, a professor of sociology at New York University, concluded that single people are more socially outgoing and active than their committed counterparts.
In his book, Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone, he argues that “Singletons play an essential yet unappreciated role in revitalizing cities and animating public spaces. Compared with married people, they’re more likely to eat out in restaurants, exercise in a gym, take art classes, attend public events, and volunteer.”

四时院中竹叶缘，三更梦里墨书香，几度浮生度日暮，一溪烟月枕中藏，雨解情思风锁门，雾迷书亭幻入真。
