Almost twice as many people live alone and eat a dinner for one every evening than 40 years ago, according to a lifestyle survey monitoring British society.

A new report, the General Lifestyle Survey Overview report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), has revealed how society has changed between 1971 and 2011.

Over four decades, about 372,000 households have been involved in the survey, with approximately 970,000 people interviewed to keep tabs on changes in the demographic, social and economic characteristics of households, families and people in Britain.

It found the number of people living alone has almost doubled.

Suits me! 🙂
 
Whilst I enjoyed sharing a house with my daughter and her family in some ways, I really like living on my own now.
