Abstract

[fre] La mobilité des personnes seules en France et Grande-Bretagne . Les personnes vivant seules sont de plus en plus nombreuses. Plus d'un quart des logements, selon le recensement français de 1990 et le recensement britannique de 1991, sont occupés par des personnes seules. . L'accroissement de la durée de vie et le maintien d'une surmortalité masculine entraînent un allongement de la vie solitaire au-delà de 65 ans. Mais, en dix ans, la solitude a surtout progressé dans les grandes agglomérations où les changements de mode de vie se manifestent avec le plus d'intensité. Elle concerne d'abord les personnes d'âge actif avant 40 ans, et plus particulièrement les femmes. Les migrations sont souvent l'occasion de passer d'une vie familiale à une vie solitaire. Quitter ses parents pour aller vivre seul à Londres ou à Paris tend à devenir une étape essentielle dans l'accès aux positions de cadre, surtout pour les jeunes femmes. Deux sources statistiques longitudinales, le Longitudinal study en Angleterre et l'Échantillon démographique permanent en France, . permettent de décrire les principaux changements de résidence. Les résultats témoignent d'une singulière convergence, dans ce domaine, entre les deux pays. [eng] The Mobility of People Living Alone in France and Great Britain . More and more people live alone. The 1 990 French census and the 1991 British census both report that over one-quarter of all housing is occupied by people living alone. Longer life expectancy and continuing greater male mortality rates have extended living alone to beyond 65 years. Yet, in ten years, the number of people living alone has risen primarily in large towns and cities where changes in lifestyles occur with the greatest intensity. Those who live alone are mainly individuals of working age under 40 years old, particularly women. . Migration is often an occasion to leave home and live alone. Leaving the parental home to live alone in London or Paris is tending to become an essential step on the way to securing an executive position, especially for women. Two longitudinal statistical sources, The Longitudinal Study in England and the Continuous Demographic Sample in France, are used to describe the main residential changes. The findings show remarkable similarities between the two countries in this regard. [ger] Die Mobilitât der Alleinstehenden in Frankreich und GroBbritannien . Immer mehr Menschen leben allein. Der in Frankreich und in GroBbritannien 1990 bzw. 1991 durchgefuhrten Volkszàhlung zufolge wird mehr als ein Viertel der Wohnungen von Alleinstehenden bewohnt. Die steigende Lebenserwartung und die anhaltende Ûbersterblichkeit bei den Mânnern haben eine Verlângerung des Alleinseins nach dem 65. Lebensjahr zur Folge. In den letzten zehn Jahren nahm die Zahl der Alleinstehenden jedoch vor allem in den groBen Ballungszentren zu, wo die Verânderungen in der Lebensweise ausgeprâgter sind. Davon betroffen sind in erster Linie die erwerbstàtigen Personen unter 40 Jahre, insbesondere die Frauen. . Die Wanderungen sind oftmals AnlaB, um von einem Familienleben zum Alleinsein uberzuwechseln. Das Verlassen der Eltern, um allein in London oder Paris zu leben, wird immer mehr zu einer wesentlichen Etappe beim Aufstieg in eine Fuhrungsposition, vor allem bei den jungen Frauen. Mit Hilfe zweier statistischer longitudinaler Quellen - der Longitudinal Study in England und der festen demographischen Stichprobe in Frankreich - lassen sich die wichtigsten Wohnsitzmerkmale beschreiben. Den Ergebnissen ist zu entnehmen, daB in diesem Bereich eine beachtliche Konvergenz zwischen beiden Lândern besteht. [spa] La movilidad de las personas solas en Francia y en Gran Bretana . Las personas que viven solas son cada vez mâs numerosas. Mâs del cuarto de las viviendas, segûn los censos francés de 1990 y britânico de 1991, estân ocupadas por personas solas. . El aumento de la duraciôn de vida y el mantenimiento de una mayor mortalidad masculina acarrean un alargamiento de la vida solitaria mâs alla de los 65 anos. Pero, en diez anos, la soledad ha progresado ante todo en las grandes urbes, en las que los cambios en el modo de vida se evidencian con mâs fuerza. Esta afecta primero a las personas de edad activa, antes de los 40, y especialmente a las mujeres. . Las migraciones son a menudo una oportunidad de pasar de una vida familiar a una vida solitaria. Dejar a los padres para irse a vivir solo en Londres o en Paris se esta convirtiendo en una etapa esencial en el acceso a los puestos de ejecutivo, sobre todo para las mujeres jôvenes. Dos fuentes estadisticas longitudinales, el Longitudinal study en Inglaterra y el Echantillon démographique permanent(Muestrario demogrâfico permanente) en .
