Ik googelde even om te zien of onze blog al gevonden werd onder 'single blog Gent' (niet dus, maar laten we hopen dat deze post een beetje helpt). En zo stootte ik op onderstaand artikel.

Dat maakt mij duidelijk dat ik helemaal van deze tijd ben. Ik was namelijk nooit getrouwd, woon in een appartement en heb geen auto.

Even een copy-paste.

Belgium - a country of singles?

If you really want be a trendsetter in Belgium these days, you've got to get married. We're evolving into a country of single men and women.

# In January 2006, Belgium counted 1,5 million single living people. That's 1/7th of the total population.

# The number of singles has doubled since 1970.

# Moreover, the singles group is diversifying. While in 1981 the majority of singles could be found in the widow group, these days the majority never got married before.

# Half of all singles live in an appartment, and only 33% has a car

En dan nu de passage waarin ik me gelukkig niet herken.

# Singles have an overall lower educational level than people living together. Single women have the lowest degree of less-educated people.

# Singles are twice as likely to be unemployed. They earn on average 6% less than people who live together, unless they are less than 30 years old.
