More and more people choose to live by themselves in the recent years. Why is the case and it is a positive or negative development of society.


In a contemporary society, people are increasingly tending to live alone in the recent years. Yet, it remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of solo living has been positive or negative. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, it is agreed that the drawbacks of the living alone far outweigh its drawbacks.

Firstly, it is an undeniable fact that the solo living will create a giant problem of demanding a large amount of housing. In some areas, there are inadequate places for building houses in order to fulfill their enormous requirements. For instance, Hong Kong government always has found an issue of looking for places to build houses. This makes it clear that this living style has created a great burden to the administration. As this shows that this lifestyle has had a demerit impact to the community.

Secondly and even more importantly, a huge amount of financial burden for the authority in helping lonely senior inhabitants. The elderly people are in need of support from the local council as they cannot receive any assistants from their offspring. To illustrate, in every year the Hong Kong government is spending few billion for supporting older people who are staying by themselves. Thus, it causes a huge financial load to the government. It is obvious from this that such a mode of living has had disadvantage to the local district.

By way of conclusion, following look at how the individual living alone can increase a housing shortage matter and financial burden for the authority to take care of aged citizen, it has been proven that the trend of person living alone has generally been negative development. Also, it seems highly advisable for the community motivating dwellers live with their parents.
