Fewer Old Maids Than Ever Before in United States
New York December 8 Spinsterhood is at an all time low in the United States says Metropolitan Life statisticians. Since 1940 the proportion of American women ever married has risen, especially among the young, from 52.8 percent to 68.8 percent for ages 20-24 and from 77.2 to 89.4 percent for ages 25-29. The rise continues with age though more slowly, and the upturn since 1940 is the first in at least 60 years. The trend may persist as younger women reach later life.
