That being said, Lithuania will not remain?

Saying that Lithuania will soon disappear because the birth rate is falling terribly?

Eurostat presented very nice data, which show that Lithuania leads the EU in terms of the number of people who live alone.

All three Baltic sisters are leading among all EU countries in households with children and single parents.

I don’t know how those households that live together were evaluated, but the official statute is single.

If according to the documents, it is very possible that a significant number of singles are single on paper, but in reality – have a partner.

But for the sake of drama, we can emphasize that Lithuania is the leader of single households in the EU! I also contribute to this statistic.

In the EU, there are 5 single mothers for every 1 single man.

In general, the situation across the EU is as follows:

more than a fifth of the adult population lives alone or is a single parent. The proportion of single adults increases with age. Just over a tenth of 18-24 year olds live alone, but almost a third of people aged 65 and over were also single.

Share of men and women living alone in all age groups in 2024 was higher than in 2015.

Also in 2024 The number of single adults aged 18-64 increased by 12.7%, while the number of people over 64 increased by 19.8%.

in 2024 the number of male adults living alone increased more than the number of female adults living alone, and the number of single adults over 65 increased very sharply, 35.0% for men and 14.4% for women.

in 2024 most single-parent households were headed by women: 5.4% of women aged 25-54 were single mothers with children, compared to 1.0% of men of the same age.

Throughout 2015-2024 period, the share of single men aged 25-54 without children was much higher than that of women in the same position, and grew at a faster rate than that of women over the period.

in 2024 19.9% ​​of men aged 25-54 were single without children, compared to 12.0% of women of the same age (16.5% and 10.4% respectively in 2015).

Lone parents accounted for 12.7% of households with children across the EU. Among EU households with children, the largest share of single parents was registered in Estonia (36.7%), Lithuania (29.5%), and Latvia (24.9%).
