INDICATOR: LONELINESS

The share of persons aged 16-64 years who often feel isolated from other people, miss having someone to spend time with or feel left out. 2020.

Note: LGBT+ persons include respondents who identify as “homosexual”, “bisexual” or “asexual” or as a different sex than the one they were assigned at birth. The number of observations were too few to provide figures for the different subcategories under the individual age groups. There is a significant difference between LGBT+ persons and the remaining population in the age groups “16-24 years” and “25-34 years” (p < 0.05). Number of observations = 17,938.
