One third of households in Korea are single households, a new record. Most are either young or old.
The income of one-person households was 42 percent of the average of all households in Korea. Of those living alone, 70.9 percent were living on government grants or basic income.
The lives of people living alone changed during the pandemic, but not dramatically, according to the Korea One-person Households Report 2020 published by KB Financial Group Research Institute.
