"Throughout history, people who lived alone were thought to be either poor souls who hadn't been lucky enough to find a mate, or prickly sorts who never could keep one. Not anymore. Today [2003], more and more Americans of all ages are choosing to live by themselves--without romantic partners, spouses or roommates--and are having a tremendous impact on the way the rest of us live, shop and even mate." (AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHICS) This article examines how economics and cultural values are fueling the growth of one-person households and discusses how this trend is redefining the concept of "family."
