Description

Many young adults in the EU share the feeling of loneliness. Approximately 57% of young Europeans between the ages of 18 and 35 are moderately or even severely lonely, as our new study “A comparison of youth loneliness in Europe in 2024” shows. Across countries, the level of educational attainment is a particular risk factor.
