Sustainability researcher Tullia Jack has interviewed people living alone about why they do so. A common thread among many of them was that living alone had not been an active choice. "Many of the people I interviewed would have liked to live with someone else. Ideally a romantic partner, but also friends or in a shared house.

Det åttonde globala hållbarhetsmålet i Agenda 2030 är ‘Anständiga arbetsvillkor och ekonomisk tillväxt’. Det handlar om att anständiga arbetsmöjligheter är en förutsättning för en rättvis globalisering och en minskande fattigdom. Men målet anses strida mot andra hållbarhetsmål.
