<p>Although being single is not a protected characteristic (unlike, for example, race
or sex) in the Equality Act 2010, single people can particularly benefit from other
protec-tions in that legislation - for example, provisions which allow shops and attractions
to charge older or younger people less than working-age adults. These concessions,
for example cheaper haircuts for pensioners or discounted entry to events and museums
for students and pensioners, are likely to be of particular benefit to single people,
who are strongly represented in these groups.</p>
