Which of the following is not a reason for the rise in single households in Europe ?

Correct answer: A. social resistance to cohabitation

  • A. social resistance to cohabitation
  • B. the trend towards later marriages
  • C. the high rate of divorce
  • D. an ageing population with a growing number of households made up of widows/widowers

Explanation

Later marriage, divorce and population ageing can all increase the number of one-person households. Social resistance to cohabitation would not itself explain their rise and may encourage marriage rather than living alone.
