More than 3.09 million women in South Korea live alone, in addition to the increasing number of women involved in economic activities, according to data released by Statistics Korea on Feb. 2.

South Korea's single-person households reached 6.14 million this year, with women accounting for 50.3 percent of the total, Yonhap reported, citing data from Statistics Korea. Statistics Korea expects the number of women living alone to increase to 3.23 million in 2025 and 3.65 million in 2035. Yonhap commented that the increasing number of women living alone in South Korea shows that more women are less likely to consider marriage, and we can see from the figure of 3.09 million that they are paying more attention to their own personal development compared to the old days when women used to get married and have children and retire in their adulthood as a matter of routine, and women's thinking has been liberated from the idea of taking marriage as a necessary choice in life.

After getting married, the pressure is very great, not only to take care of the children, take care of the family, and prevent the partner from having second thoughts, properly on the hall, down to the kitchen, the key is to prevent the outside wildflower. You say is the game is not fun, or fried chicken is not good, put a good life but, froze to head into the grave of love, women are not stupid, how to choose is not very obvious?

Data show that South Korea's number of first marriages last year was 184,000, down from 200,000 in 2018 and 206,100 in 2017.

South Korea has 25.83 million women this year, accounting for 49.9 percent of the total population. Life expectancy for women in South Korea is now 87.5 years, six years longer than for men.

Also, South Korea's female employment rate was 51.6 percent last year, an increase of 0.7 percentage points from 2018; the female unemployment rate was 3.6 percent, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points from 2018. In terms of age, women in their early 50s had the highest employment rate at 68 percent; women between the ages of 45 and 49 had the second highest employment rate at 67.4 percent; and women in their early 30s had the third highest employment rate at 64.6 percent.

The data also showed that the employment rate of women in the 35 to 39 age group decreased. This is due to the fact that many women have had to leave the workplace for reasons such as marriage, childbirth and bringing up children.
