Over the last few decades, we have been witnessing a gradual increase in the numberof one-member households among young people in the Czech Republic. Even though the experience ofliving alone in so-called early adulthood can affect the development and lifestyle, so far it is not wellresearchedphenomenon bound to stereotypes and myths. Based on quantitative data survey of EU-SILCand time-use diary survey by Czech Household Panel Survey this study provides basic information on theorigin, characteristics and living conditions in one-member households of individuals between the ages of18 and 35 and examines selected aspects of their lifestyles. Based on detailed analysis it aims to disprovea stereotypical idea of careerism among these people by comparing their income, job positions and workinghours with the other types of household. In comparison with the other types of household, there is also nosignificant difference in the area of sociability. Hence we cannot support either of the opposing stereotypes:solitude or extreme sociability. However, single women tend to show a lower level of sociability and certaindissatisfaction in this area as well.
