One In Four Young People In The World Feels Lonely<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0by Gallup and Meta, “The Global State of Social Connections,” highlights just how prevalent loneliness is today.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The survey, which interviewed people aged 15+ in 142 countries from June 2022 to February 2023, provides insight on the prevalence of loneliness in different age groups.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As Statista’s Anna Fleck shows in the chart below<\/a>, globally, 25 percent of respondents between 15 and 18 years old feel “very lonely” or “fairly lonely.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is even higher among those aged 19 to 29, with 27 percent of participants experiencing significant levels of loneliness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Respondents aged over 65 show a lower rate of loneliness, with only 17 percent reporting significant levels of isolation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the\u00a0coronavirus pandemic<\/a>\u00a0increased the feeling of isolation for many people, this data suggests that loneliness continues to afflict a high number of people, even now lockdowns have passed.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Loneliness can have serious health implications, with social isolation having been linked to an increased risk of several chronic diseases, such as diabetes and\u00a0dementia<\/a>, as well as mental health disorders including anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

Regarding the reasons why people may feel alone, the study clarifies that the data collected “contributes to explaining\u00a0how<\/em>\u00a0people feel, but it is necessary to continue researching to find out why.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
