A new study from the Pew Research Center highlights a dramatic shift in social norms, revealing that 25% of adults are now projected to remain single throughout their lives.
The research suggests that by the time today’s younger generations reach the age of 50, one in four will have never married—a notable departure from past patterns of adult relationships.
While the trend has sparked debate over its potential social implications, the study also notes that many single individuals report greater self-determination and personal growth compared to those who are married.
