Why AI suddenly appears in this world out of nowhere? It is already known that it is the god creation to replace for human. AI doesn't need religion or choosing holy meat. They just need to be feed with technology to become human again.

QUOTE(nelson969 @ Nov 21 2025, 10:32 AM) local guide taiwan say, a tons of flat house in main city taipei and surrounding area and high price property, ppl tend to live alone now I don't think this is the issue. If property expensive then get married and joint loan. 2 person paying is easier than 1.The issue is they just want to forever alone. |

Expected to be **35-40%** by 2025. * **Key Factors**: Aging population, declining marriage rates, economic pressures, cultural shifts toward individualism. * **Notable Trends**: High rates of elderly living alone and the growth of the **single-person economy**. --- ### **2. **South Korea 🇰🇷** * **Single-Person Households**: Expected to reach **40-45%** by 2025. * **Key Factors**: Aging population, ultra-competitive work culture, high living costs, and changing social attitudes toward marriage. * **Notable Trends**: Significant growth in **single-person apartments** and services catering to solo living. --- ### **3. **Taiwan 🇹🇼** * **Single-Person Households**: Expected to be **35-40%** by 2025. * **Key Factors**: Aging population, rising economic pressures, and a shift in social values toward individualism and career focus. * **Notable Trends**: Growth of the **single-person economy** and the normalization of **"no marriage, no kids"** mentality. --- ### **4. **Sweden 🇸🇪** * **Single-Person Households**: Around **40%** of households are single-person in Sweden. * **Key Factors**: High levels of individualism, progressive family structures, and a strong welfare system that supports independence. * **Notable Trends**: A culture of **personal freedom** and **minimalist living**, with many choosing **solo living** and **single-parenthood**. --- ### **5. **Germany 🇩🇪** * **Single-Person Households**: Over **40%** of German households are now single-person. * **Key Factors**: Urbanization, high cost of living, changing attitudes toward marriage, and a focus on career and personal development. * **Notable Trends**: The popularity of **small apartments** and **co-living spaces** for young professionals and urban dwellers. --- ### **6. **United States 🇺🇸** * **Single-Person Households**: Around **28%**, but expected to rise to **30-35%** by 2025. * **Key Factors**: Economic pressures, shifting gender roles, increasing life expectancy, and cultural emphasis on **independence**. * **Notable Trends**: Growth of **solo living** in major cities, especially among **young professionals** and **older adults**. --- ### **7. **United Kingdom 🇬🇧** * **Single-Person Households**: Over **30%** of all households in the UK are single-person. * **Key Factors**: High cost of living in cities like **London**, changing cultural attitudes toward marriage and family, and economic challenges. * **Notable Trends**: Increased demand for **single-occupancy housing** and services aimed at **solo living**, such as **meal kits** and **personalized wellness services**. --- ### **8. **France 🇫🇷** * **Single-Person Households**: Approximately **30%** of households in France are single-person. * **Key Factors**: Economic factors, particularly in large cities, and a trend toward **individualism** and **personal freedom**. * **Notable Trends**: Rising number of **individuals living alone**, particularly in **urban areas** like **Paris**. --- ### **9. **Finland 🇫🇮** * **Single-Person Households**: Finland has seen a rapid increase in **single-person households**, with **nearly 40%** of the population living alone. * **Key Factors**: High standard of living, individualistic culture, and the availability of social services supporting solo living. * **Notable Trends**: Growth in **compact living spaces**, and the rise of **single-person economy** products and services. --- ### **10. **Netherlands 🇳🇱** * **Single-Person Households**: Around **40%** of households in the Netherlands are single-person. * **Key Factors**: High quality of life, urbanization, economic independence, and strong cultural emphasis on **personal space** and **individual rights**. * **Notable Trends**: Emphasis on **solo living**, **minimalism**, and **flexible work arrangements** that enable people to live independently. --- ### **Common Factors Driving These Trends**: * **Aging Populations**: In all these countries, the number of elderly people living alone is increasing due to longer life expectancies and changing family dynamics. * **Economic Pressures**: The rising **cost of living**, especially in urban areas, and financial pressures make it harder for individuals to afford large homes or raise families. * **Work Culture**: High levels of **career focus** and **long working hours** in many of these countries make **personal freedom** and **independence** more attractive than traditional family structures. * **Cultural Shifts**: There's a **global shift toward individualism**, where younger generations are more focused on **personal growth**, **career** goals, and **independence** rather than traditional roles of marriage and parenthood. * **Urbanization**: With **more people moving to cities**, smaller living spaces and **compact apartments** designed for solo living are becoming more popular and accessible. --- ### **Conclusion** By **2025**, the **single-person household trend** will continue to grow in these **10 countries**, reflecting broader **global shifts** toward individualism and evolving social structures. While each country has its own specific **economic, social, and cultural factors**, the common thread is a move toward **solo living**, **career focus**, and **independence**, leading to a growing **single-person economy** with products and services tailored to individuals rather than families. |
