South Korea's one-person households exceeds 8 million for first time


The number of one-person households stands at an all-time high of eight million here in South Korea and among them over five million are employed the highest proportion since related data collection began ten years ago. This latest finding is part of a report by Statistics Korea on the employment status of one-person and dual-income households during the latter half of last year. And speaking of that dual-income married households fell to some six million and among the working parents those with children under 18 accounted for over 58 percent the highest on record.
