By 2037, the number of single-person households will exceed 40% in South Korea

The ratio of single-person households in Korea is predicted to exceed 40% of all households in 2037. On the 12th, the Korea National Statistical Office released the "Future Household Estimates: 2022-2023" report, which includes the above information.
According to this data, the total number of households in 2022 will be 21.66 million. It will increase to 24.37 million households in 2041, but will start to decline from 2042, and will continue to decline by 2052.
This will decrease to 23,277,000 households by 2042. The total number of households will increase due to an increase in one-person households, but the total population will decrease, so the number of households will also decrease from 2042.
The number of single-person households is predicted to increase from 7.389 million in 2022 to 9.62 million in 2052, 30 years from now. The proportion of single-person households among all households will be 34.1% in 2022.
However, this is expected to increase to 39.2% in 2032 and 40.1% in 2037. In addition, this figure is expected to increase from 40.8% to 41.3% in the 10-year period from 2042 to 2052.
