[Graphic News] Single-income households account for 27%
By Korea HeraldPublished : June 30, 2016 - 18:21
The number of single-income households in Korea increased to 5 million last year, taking a 27.2 percent share of the total, according to data Thursday.
Statistics Korea said the data also showed nearly half of all married couples were double-income families. The proportion of double-income families stood at 43.9 percent, which slightly increased from the previous year.
What is notable is the increase of double-income couples living separately. Officials attributed the increase to massive relocation of public institutes from Seoul and its suburbs to different regions including Sejong City.
