A classic characteristic of micro-living is that it is suitable for singles and, occasionally, couples. One might find this a disconcerting factor when looking at the rapid global population growth.

Germany is one country particularly primed for micro-living. As you will see by the below graphic representation of its household structure, single households will rise to an alarming 19.3 million by 2040.
