Current Affairs More Czechs than ever now living alone
The number of one-person households in the Czech Republic is on the rise. In fact, according to government figures released this week, one in four Czech households is single-occupant. In 2002, roughly 900,000 of the country’s population lived in one-person households. But by last year that figure had risen by over a quarter of a million. In the capital, the trend is even more pronounced: forty percent of Prague’s residents live by themselves. Martin Potůček, head of the Center for Social and Economic Strategies at Charles University, speaks about the meaning of this data.
