Marriage is out, and singlehood is in as economically squeezed young Asians subvert convention and explore alternative paths in real estate<\/p>\n

Spread by economic pressures, an \u201cepidemic of despair\u201d has dissuaded many from procreating. fornStudio\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The age-old edict of \u201cgo forth and multiply\u201d is resonating less and less with younger generations.<\/p>\n

According to the United Nations, women are having one fewer child than they did in 1990. The University of Washington\u2019s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation also predicted this year that 97 percent of countries would fall below the replacement fertility rate by 2050.<\/p>\n

Single-person households comprised the fastest-growing household type globally from 2010 to 2019, with nearly half of this growth concentrated in Asia Pacific, according to Euromonitor International.<\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s fertility rate has dipped below 1.3 for two decades, the longest stretch among OECD countries. As of 2023, nearly 42 percent of South Koreans lived alone, giving rise to the term bihon, the choice to forego marriage.<\/p>\n

Japan, meanwhile, has the dubious honour of having the world\u2019s oldest society. It is plagued by ills such as hikikomori (extreme social withdrawal) and kodokushi (lonely deaths), which raises concern among landlords.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Singapore\u2019s fertility rate dropped to 0.97, marking the first time it has fallen below 1. Whereas housing units once accommodated three to five people, family sizes in the city-state are now even smaller, according to Dr Nai Jia Lee, head of real estate intelligence, data, and software solutions at PropertyGuru Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cLow fertility is associated with the financial costs of child-raising, pressures to be an excellent parent, or difficulties managing work and family commitments,\u201d he says. \u201cUncertain economic conditions and climate change probably also lead to a shift to smaller household sizes and increase in number of singles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spread by economic pressures, an \u201cepidemic of despair\u201d has dissuaded many from procreating, according to recent research by neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, movements like tang ping or \u201clying flat\u201d gained traction, forcing China\u2019s youth to reassess life choices amid disillusionment with employment.<\/p>\n

In 2021, China recorded 239 million single people over the age of 15. A year earlier, the average age of marriage had risen to 28.67, compared to 24.89 in 2010, prompting President Xi Jinping to advocate for a \u201cnew culture of marriage and childbearing\u201d in yet another step away from the one-child policy.<\/p>\n

The high costs of living in urban centres, including rent, utilities, and daily expenses, can strain finances, making it challenging to save for a home<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cTraditionally, marriage in China was viewed as a social obligation, but contemporary attitudes now prioritise personal happiness and compatibility,\u201d says James Woo, co-head of valuation for China at Colliers.<\/p>\n

The prospect of homeownership, let alone childbirth, can feel unattainable in China where the residential price-toincome ratio stands at 29.59.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe high costs of living in urban centres, including rent, utilities, and daily expenses, can strain finances, making it challenging to save for a home,\u201d says Woo. \u201cMany young professionals face job instability, making it harder to commit to long-term financial obligations like a mortgage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Housing costs also deter childbearing in Seoul where jeonse (rental deposit) can cost around KRW423 million (USD309,000). This year, South Korea invited overseas Filipino workers in a pilot program to assist with childcare, promoting procreation to locals, but the results have been mixed so far.<\/p>\n

Although the Philippines tops Southeast Asia in the number of singles, around 64 percent of its populace are aged 15 to 64, placing it in a demographic \u201csweet spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Developers are cashing in on this young, millennial, Gen Z-dominated workforce,\u201d says Joey Roi Bondoc, associate director of research at Colliers Philippines. \u201cThey\u2019re banking on the potential of their salaries to increase in the years to come. If they receive greater wages, they\u2019ll have greater capacity to purchase residential units.\u201d<\/p>\n

Singledom will likely marshal demand for more affordable residential products, compelling developers to rethink their portfolios in favour of smaller cuts. In markets like metropolitan Manila, where unsold ready-for-occupancy units have numbered around 21,000, singles offer developers an opportunity to clear their lower mid-income inventories.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes sense right now for developers to aggressively capture demand from the singles, from the young workers, especially because these are projects that will likely cater to them, given their income levels at this point,\u201d says Bondoc.<\/p>\n

Similar shifts are occurring in neighbouring Indonesia, Southeast Asia\u2019s most populous country, where around 128,000 fewer people married from 2022 to 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver time, this trend may lead to a structural shift in the housing market with a reduced focus on large family homes,\u201d says Vivin Harsanto, head of advisory at JLL Indonesia. \u201cDevelopers and policymakers may need to innovate further to meet the unique needs of this demographic, potentially leading to new property types and ownership models.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking such an innovative approach, Singapore has experimented with co-living models for independent seniors. Earlier this year, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) launched its first tender for \u201csilver co-living proposals\u201d to support elders living alone.<\/p>\n

Similarly, developers in China have redirected their focus on shared housing models and rentals, especially those featuring multi-functional living spaces, instead of family-oriented abodes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the trend continues, we may see a stabilisation or even a decrease in property prices in certain segments of the market, especially where demand for larger homes declines,\u201d says Woo.<\/p>\n

Singlehood may also foment the rise of self-contained townships and mixed-use, master-planned communities, with spaces tailored to the unmarried. \u201cUrban areas may see densification as more singles opt for city living with enhanced services and amenities,\u201d says Harsanto.<\/p>\n

Despite individualism gaining currency across Asia, obligations towards family still weigh heavily on singles. Some men in China reportedly linger in rural \u201cbachelor villages\u201d while in Singapore, some singles bypass the HDB\u2019s offerings for pricier private homes, all to be near ageing elders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lack of new flats near their parents often nudges them to the resale of the private market,\u201d says Dr Nai Jia. \u201cIt is also interesting to note that the factor that influences their decision includes future capital gains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking care of parents can compete with time and resources needed for having children, compounding the decline in birthrates, he adds.<\/p>\n

From 20th-century fears of overpopulation to today\u2019s pronatalism, the discourse on reproduction has evolved, but those earlier concerns were not unwarranted. A Lancet study suggests that if the global population decreases to 7.1 billion by 2100, carbon emissions could drop by 41 percent.<\/p>\n

While inducing procreation is problematic, especially on a boiling planet, the reverse is equally concerning. A shrinking workforce can undermine the global economy.<\/p>\n

Women are choosing to have fewer children, making them vital to economies with labour shortages. Josu Ozkaritz\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cTo be honest, most countries try to solve this problem through migration,\u201d says Dr. Nai Jia. \u201cIt is an inevitable journey that all countries will go through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid heated debates on migration, one voice risks getting lost in the noise: that of childbearers. As nations grow wealthier and access to contraception widens, women choose to have fewer children, making them vital to economies with labour shortages.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs more women enter the workforce and attain higher education, they gain financial independence, leading them to prioritise personal and professional development over traditional roles as wives and mothers,\u201d says Woo.<\/p>\n

New norms and mores will undoubtedly emerge with the growing acceptance of childlessness, supplanting conventional concepts of domesticity. Future generations, regardless of gender, will then have to decide whether homeownership is still worth pursuing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy advice to singles is to think about their main motivation for purchasing residential property and untangle all the secondary objectives,\u201d says Dr Nai Jia.<\/p>\n
