The Silent Epidemic: Unraveling the Devastating Impact of Loneliness on Mental and Physical Well-beingΒ 


Top 5 Countries with highest rates of loneliness

1. Sweden - 47%

Though it has a population of just 10.4 million, nearly 47% of Sweden's populace live alone, the highest of any nation. Widely known for its robust welfare system, housing is largely very affordable in the country, and single-occupancy apartments are very popular. To counter the effects of too many single homes, the Swedish government has sponsored several collective housing complexes to have more people live together. But with a stable economy, changing social trends towards the nuclear family, and an aging population, Sweden's share of single homes may indeed only continue to increase.

2. The United Kingdom - 34%

Including the nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, 34% of the United Kingdom's 67.7 million inhabitants live alone. With a stable welfare system, many in Britain can afford to live in single-person dwellings and are indeed choosing to do so. In conjunction with global trends towards delaying marriage and family life, this means more and more Britons live alone. In addition, high housing costs and inflation make single-person homes more desirable for many, while continued economic questions surrounding Brexit have impacted consumers' choices.Β 

3. Japan - 31%

Japan is the 11th most populous nation in the world, with some 124.2 million inhabitants, 31% of which report living in single-person homes. With an aging population and a low birth rate, the number of people living alone in the country has been steadily increasing for decades. The elderly population alone has significantly contributed to Japan's status as a "lonely" nation, with an increase of nearly half a million seniors between 1980 and 2010, according to census figures. Officials have undertaken efforts to increase births and promote larger family circles, all with the aim of ensuring fewer Japanese households are left with solitary residents.Β 

4. Italy - 29%

Around 29% of Italians live alone, according to statistics data, with various reasons leading to the trend. In a country of nearly 58.8 million people, the aging population has been a significant factor in the decline of multiperson homes. Though the traditional family still maintains a strong presence in Italy, an increasing shift to independent living coupled with an affordable housing market has made single dwellings more prominent. In addition, more financially prosperous urban centers (particularly in the North) attract young workers, while more rural communities maintain large family homes.Β 

5. The United States - 28%

The world's third most populous nation, the United States, is the home of 331.8 million, 28% of which are reported to live alone. Like Canada, many people in America choose to live alone rather than being absolutely forced to. In many major cities, the trend of independent living has soared in the last three decades, while the influence of the traditional nuclear family has waned. Though economic conditions vary across the country, access to higher education, higher-paying jobs, and more affordable housing has made the desire to live single more attainable. In addition, social trends have continued to evolve, and the value placed on starting families and getting married younger has shifted to later in life.Β
