Abstract

Single individuals have been traditionally identified with never partnered or never cohabiting/married people (Laplant, 2016; Bellani et al., 2017). As recently pointed out (e.g., Perelli-Harris & Lyons-Amos, 2015), however, they represent a more heterogeneous and dynamic subpopulation. The status of “single” can potentially change over the life course, being the result of multiple possible pathways and family trajectories (e.g, McMillan & Copher, 2005).
