In Northern Europe almost half of households consist of one person.
Rates of living alone are lower in the Global South but the trend
is still on the increase. Prevalent first among the elderly, living
alone then becomes common at ages associated with partners and
children. Fears about the end of family and community combine with
stereotypes, the 'sad and lonely' or 'selfish singles', in popular
depictions. This groundbreaking and highly original study brings
evidence to the core debates about contemporary social change in
the context of globalization, exploring individualization and
social connection, the future of family formation, consumption and
identities, the relevance of place - rural or urban - in mobile
worlds, sexuality, belonging and 'community', living arrangements
and sustainability. This book presents a systematic sociological
analysis of the growing trend of solo living across the globe,
while also drawing on the voices of working-age men and women
living in urban and rural areas in the UK.
