New Trend - More people living apart together

In the news

Study: Living apart together
About 1.9 million Canadians, or just over 7% of the population aged 20 and over, said that they were in a couple relationship with someone in 2011, but lived at separate addresses. This proportion was down slightly from 8% in 2001.
These relationships, often referred to as "non-cohabiting" couples, or "living apart together" couples, are increasingly tracked by statistical agencies around the world to get a better sense of the living arrangements of couples.
What are the reasons for living apart together? How many individuals are in this situation in Canada? Is this type of relationship increasing? Are these relationships motivated by lifestyle choices?  Find out in the article "Living apart together" derived from the 2011 and 2001 General Social Survey on the family.
