Single-person Households to Hit 40% in Japan in 2030

The number of single-person households in Japan is reportedly expected to reach 40-percent in 20 years due to divorce, bereavement, or never getting married.
Japan's Asahi Shimbun reported on Sunday that in the year 2030, one out of five men in their 50s and 60s would be single and one in three men in their 50s would remain unmarried.
Pointing out an average of ten people dying alone in Tokyo each day the paper argued that a family-based society seems to be over in Japan as more Japanese choose to live and die alone.
