ONE2ONE LIVING -- The US has more single adults than any other nation
in the world except for China and India. There are now more single head
of households than there are married households with children.
Married-couple households -- have fallen from nearly 80% in the 1950s to
50.7% today. Delaying of marriage and changing societal norms has
resulted in a tripling of the number of unmarried men and women in
their early thirties; from 9% to 30% for men and from 6% to 22% for
women within the past three decades. Nearly 59% of all singles
have never married. 85% of all singles will marry at least once
in their lifetime -- this is a 10% decrease from the 95% of all
Americans, who married at least once in the 1950s. DeBeers, the Diamond
Trading Company, has created a right-hand ring for professional women
to buy their own jewelry without waiting for till marriage. Unmarried America-- American Association of Single Persons (AASP) is an organization
modeled after American Association of Retired Persons (aarp) which
fights for singles right. FULL REPORT @ ONE2ONE
