In recent times, many people are making the decision to live alone. What are the causes of this? Does it have positive or negatives effects on society? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

There has been a tendency in many countries over recent years for more people of all ages
to choose

to live alone.
This
essay will discuss the reasons for
this
and explain why
this
can have both advantages and disadvantages for society. One reason for
this
trend is economic. People are generally more affluent than in the past, and
this
means that they can afford to make the choice to live alone, something not always possible in the past.
In addition
to
this
, there are
also
cultural factors. There used to be more pressure to marry young and think about having a family.
Now though

Now, though
, people desire self-fulfilment, and will marry later or divorce if their marriage is not happy.
Also
, the developments in communication technology
such
as social media mean that people can live alone but still feel connected to others. I would argue that
this
development has positive and negative impacts on society. A positive impact is that those individuals who are young and single have helped to revitalise cities around the world, as they are more likely to live in central locations and socialise, spend money and participate in public life than those living with others.
However
, a drawback is that some people living alone who experience problems may not have an outlet to talk about them.
This
lack of social support could lead to more mental health problems in the general population, which would need to be dealt with by public health care services. To conclude, economic and cultural factors, and changes in communication have resulted in more people living alone, and,
although
this
has benefits to society, there are
also
negative impacts.
