A paradise of married bliss? Let's have a look at the statistics (March 2000)
Single: Not living with a partner on a permanent basis.
And this in a society where there are no economic penalties for getting divorced. On the contrary: Both partners get flats; well, actually one of them gets to keep the old one and the other is assigned a new one. Single members get a small addition to their budget, the idea being that they need a bit more money to go and look for a new partner. We must be doing something right. |
