Four in five young adults (aged 18–29) taking part in the Envie survey reported at least one romantic or sexual relationship over the past year. A majority reported a couple relationship (66%), but many had also experienced a one-night-stand (21%) or various lasting relationships that they defined in different ways (15%). Couples still tend to meet in school or at the workplace, while partners for a one-night stand are often encountered in public spaces or on dating apps. Couples are equally prevalent across different social backgrounds, but the other types of relationship are more frequent among young people, women especially, with parents in higher-level occupations.
