Welcome to Dating Podcasts Never Married Dating.
I'm your host and we're diving into one of the
most significant demographic shifts of our time.
The collapse of the birth rate and what it means
for millions of singles worldwide. This isn't
just a minor shift in social behaviour. It represents
a fundamental transformation in how entire generations
approach relationships, family formation and
life planning. From Tokyo to London, from San
Francisco to Sydney, we're witnessing the same
pattern emerge across developed nations. The
numbers are truly staggering. In 2021, 25 % of
40 year olds in the United States had never been
married. That's up from just 20 % in 2010. We're
seeing this trend accelerate globally. The United
States birth rate has reached a record new low
dropping to 1 .6 children per woman. United States
is now below the birth replacement level of 2
.1 children per woman that is needed to maintain
a stable population. Never married singles in
the United States are the largest group of single
people, making up 66 .93 % of all single Americans.
37 .9 % of adults have never married as of 2021.
The European Union is experiencing similar declines,
with only four marriages per 1 ,000 people in
2023. That's 1 .8 million marriages compared
to 700 ,000 divorces. What's driving this shift?
The average marriage age has risen dramatically.
In the 1950s, people married at 20 and 22. By
2016, that jumped to 27 and 29, a staggering
89 percent of the world's population now lives
in countries with falling marriage rates. But
these aren't just numbers on a spreadsheet. Behind
each statistic is a person navigating an increasingly
complex dating landscape. Economic pressures,
career demands, student debt, housing costs,
and changing social expectations have all contributed
to this unprecedented shift in relationship patterns.
Here's another striking statistic. Never married
singles represent 66 .93 % of all single Americans.
That breaks down to 75 .2 % of single men. and
59 % of single women. Pennsylvania leads the
nation in never married adults. The dating landscape
is clearly struggling. 26 % of Americans didn't
have sex even once in 2021. Traditional dating
apps aren't meeting the specific needs of this
massive never married demographic. What sets
specialized platforms apart is their understanding
that never -married people have distinct needs.
They're not looking to blend families, navigate
custody arrangements, or work through previous
relationship trauma. They want to start fresh
