婚姻到底对谁最有益？
作者 一炷香

调查发现，单身男性比单身女性更觉寂寞，然而有意思的是，结了婚的人群中，女性更容易感到孤独。换言之，婚姻对男性受益更大些。

这份涵盖2000名受访者的访问旨在调查寂寞感和幸福感之间的关系。数据显示，孤独是很多澳洲人的心病。

从收入角度来看，相对于年收入在10-25万的男性人群，寂寞感特别“留恋”与收入不足6万的男同胞。

MARRIAGE benefits men more than women and single men are lonelier than single women, according to a survey.

The Australian Unity Wellbeing Index, which covered 2000 people and focused on the link between wellbeing and loneliness and money and debt, found that loneliness is a significant problem among Australians.

It said the wellbeing loss associated with loneliness is most pronounced for males but that people who live with partners are the least lonely.

It said men who never married, were separated or widowed are significantly lonelier than females in the same circumstances.

"Curiously, however, married and de facto females record higher levels of loneliness than married or de facto men,'' the report said.

"In this respect, therefore, marriage benefits males more than females''.

The report said just over 30 per cent of respondents recorded their level of loneliness at or above the average score of 40 which indicated an average loss of wellbeing.

On the money side, men from households which earn less than $60,000 are significantly lonelier than men with a household income of $100,000 to $250,000.
