With the rapid growth of society, more and more people would live alone or in smaller units. The modernization may be the main cause of the situation. And this phenomenon brings both efficient employees as well as aging problems.

The change in accommodation thanks to modern society. Citizens and their family numbers have distinct lifestyles. This means that the elders usually get up early, while the white-collar workers prefer to get up late. Furthermore, with high living costs, fewer and fewer families can afford a big apartment in the city center. So, some of them decide to move to the suburbs when leaving the young in the city. The young left have to live individually or just with their small family.

The change in accommodation habits benefits society. First of all, living alone can increase people’s independence and build a sense of responsibility. They need to take care of themselves and do everything without their parents, which helps them to grow up in a short time. Besides, small units boost the employees’ efficiency and performance as well as reduce the distractions from other family numbers. They do not need to spend much time on family issues but achieve a work-family balance.

However, the separation of large families causes several problems. This tendency reduces face-to-face interaction so that family numbers are not as close as they used to be. The reduction of family talk and gathering may lead to strangeness. Some news shows that some children cannot recognize their parents if they leave each other for a long time. Additionally, the change in accommodation will bring a heavy burden to society. Without the young’s care, society should spend more money on the elderly.

In conclusion, given changes in personal schedules and increasing living costs, the tendency mentioned above is a certainty. This change also brings more efficient and independent officers as well as more family and aging problems to society at the same time.
