Demographic Trend You Need to Know About

Written by Susan Dunn


There is a demographic trend of which HR personnel, management, business owners, and CEOs need to be aware. According to demographic trends analyst, Cheryl Russell, byrepparttar year 2005,repparttar 106105 most common household inrepparttar 106106 US will be single-person households. "Never before in American history has living alone beenrepparttar 106107 predominant lifestyle," says Russell, andrepparttar 106108 time is fast approaching.

According torepparttar 106109 American Association for Single people (http://www.singlesrights.com/main.html),repparttar 106110 2000 UC Census reported that 82 million men and women inrepparttar 106111 United States are unmarried. This figure includes nearly 20 million adults who are divorced, 13.6 million who are widowed, and more than 48 million who have never married.

· More than 48% of all households inrepparttar 106112 nation are headed by unmarried individuals.

· About 40% ofrepparttar 106113 workforce is unmarried.

· Approximately 36% of people who voted inrepparttar 106114 last national election were unmarried.

· About 27 million Americans live alone, while about 2 million adults live with an unmarried partner.

The Census Bureau has projected that betweenrepparttar 106115 ages of 15 and 85,repparttar 106116 average man and woman will experience more years being unmarried than they will being married.

According to this data, a huge and growing population is choosing to be alone. If you define adults as those over 18, 44% of US adults - that's nearly half -- are singles.

Ofrepparttar 106117 18 to 24 age group, 85.9% are single. This is a very substantial change from a generation ago, and this isrepparttar 106118 group that will be coming your way!

The American Association for Single People (AASP) projects that by 2010, 47.2% ofrepparttar 106119 adults overrepparttar 106120 age of 18 will be unmarried.

If we assume that this trend continues, and Cheryl Russell is notrepparttar 106121 only one who thinks it will, what will this mean torepparttar 106122 workplace?

First of all, there will be increasing pressure for economic, political, corporate, and legal reforms to accommodate this shift to unmarried adults.

Secondly, it seems probable that adults are going to be seeking more connection, and more social contact at work - with nearly half of workers being single.

While living alone does not necessarily mean lonely, it does mean that whatever emotional needs were being met previously by marriage will not be met. Those adults who live alone will have less emotional support and fewer outlets for emotional expression and meaningful contact outside ofrepparttar 106123 workplace.
