Behind the world's falling birth rate(s) lies a fall in the number of people (seemingly) in relationships;

the retreat from coupledom has many causes (from social changes to social media) but looks to be (re)shaping the world.

The big Q. then becomes: if this continues, what does a world dominated by single people look like?

Or will this shift back as the young find the value of companionship again?

Much of our future may depend on these choices.
