You’re not alone in being lonely. New data shows more than half of millennials are single
Austin Spivey, a 24-year-old woman in Washington, has been looking for a relationship for years. She’s been on several dating apps — OkCupid, Coffee Meets Bagel, Hinge, Tinder, Bumble. She’s on a volleyball team, where she has a chance to meet people with similar interests in a casual setting. She’s even let The Washington Post set her up.
There are several other trends that go along with the increase in young singles. Women are having fewer children, and they’re having them later in life. The median age of first marriage is increasing. And according to a 2017 report from the Pew Research Center, among those who have never married but are open to it, most say a major reason is because they haven’t found the right person.
The GSS survey reflects similar trends from the federal Current Population Survey as analyzed by the Pew Research Center. The CPS data asked about living with a spouse or partner as opposed to simply having one. The Pew analysis found 42 per cent of American adults who did not live with a spouse or partner in 2017, up from 39 per cent in 2007. It also found an increase in the share of adults under 35 who didn’t live with a spouse or partner over that period, from 56 per cent to 61 per cent.
