국제적으로 진행된 인터넷 여론조사에 따르면 커플들이 솔로보다 높은 행복지수와 재정적으로 안정감을 느낀다고 지난주 로이터가 보도했다.

글로벌 마케팅 여론조사 전문업체 입소스 (Ipsos)가 진행한 이번 여론조사는 15개국, 18, 000명의 성인을 대상으로 진행됐다.

응답자중 80% 의 커플들이 “행복하다”라고 답변한 반면 솔로 중 67% 만 “행복하다”라고 답했다.

커플과 솔로의 행복지수는 나라별로도 천차만별이다.

캐나다 커플들이 90%로 가장 높은 만족지수를 보였으며 스페인과 헝가리의 커플들은 50%를 웃도는 상대적으로 가장 낮은 만족지수를 보였다.

2등은 미국으로 89%의 커플들이 행복하다고 답변했으면 일본은 77%의 만족도를 보였다.

여론조사에 의하면 커플과 솔로의 경제적인 여유도 나라간의 차이가 확연하다고 로이터는 전했다.

스웨덴의 커플과 솔로의 경제적인 차이가 가장 많이 났으며 미국의 커플 42%가 “경제적으로 안정적으로 느낀다”고 한 반면 27% 밖에 안 되는 솔로들이 경제적 안정을 누리고 있다.

한국과 일본의 솔로중 오직 11% 만이 경제적 여유를 느낀다고 답해 최하위권을 기록했다.

Couples feel happier than singles: poll

A global survey showed that people in relationships feel happier and more financially secure than those who are single, according to Reuters.

The survey, which was released Wednesday, was conducted by the online pollster Ipsos on 18,000 adults in 15 countries.

Nearly 80 percent of respondents in a relationship said they were happy, while only 67 percent of singles responded as happy.

Responses from those in a relationship varied by country.

Canadian couples were the most content at 90 percent, while the Hungarian and Spanish couples showed the least satisfaction, with the number lumbering at 50 percent. U.S. couples followed the lead at 89 percent, and Japan scored 77 percent satisfaction.

Responses on financial security also showed that couples are better off than singles.

According to the poll, the highest level of financial security was among the Swedes, who also showed the greatest gap between singles and couples.

About 42 percent of the U.S. couples felt financially secure while only 27 percent of single people did.

South Korea and Japan were tied for the lowest sense of financial security among singles at 11 percent.
