Data indicates that single-person households in Brazil have increased by 6.4 million over the last decade. Research shows gendered differences in these living arrangements: women living alone prioritize home security more than men, while men report loneliness and financial pressures as primary concerns. Further analysis of single-parent households reveals significant disparities in leisure access. Approximately 50% of single mothers in Brazil have never taken a leisure trip, compared to 37% of single fathers. This gap is attributed to financial constraints, the disproportionate burden of domestic labor—with women averaging 21.3 hours per week compared to 11.7 hours for men—and the logistical difficulties of managing childcare and work alone. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Brazil: 50% of single mothers have never traveled for leisure A study shows 50% of single mothers in Brazil have never taken a leisure trip, highlighting socioeconomic inequalities and the lack of support networks compared to single fathers. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazil-50-of-single-mothers-have-never-traveled-for-leisure ### 2026-08-24: Brazil single-person households face gendered challenges A Verisure study reveals that women living alone in Brazil prioritize home security, while men express greater concerns regarding loneliness and financial responsibilities. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazil-single-person-households-face-gendered-challenges --- Cite as: Socioeconomic challenges for single-person households in Bra.
