Half of young SA males unmarried

More than half of all men and just under half of all women in SA appear to be single‚ according to Stats SA 2018 General Household Survey.

The likelihood of being single escalates dramatically when looking specifically at men and women aged between 18 to 34.

Stats SA said the high number of single people between the ages of 18 and 34 may lead to “social and economic consequences. Although traditional family structures are changing‚ they remain very important in countries such as SA”.
