Why Social Connections Matter for Your Well-Being
From June 2022 to February 2023, a Meta-Gallup survey found that 24% of people aged 15 and above reported feeling lonely, with the highest rates among young adults aged 19 to 29. The survey was conducted in 142 countries, with 1,000 people surveyed per country. The countries surveyed represent about 77% of the world’s population. It’s no wonder that experts warn that there is a loneliness epidemic.
