Two out of three Norwegians miss contact with others, survey shows
Almost every third Norwegian feels lonely, while two thirds miss more contact with other people.
The proportion of those who miss more contact (66%) is 10 percentage points higher than in October and 18 percentage points higher than in September, according to a survey by Opinion.
“We miss each other more than ever. In all parts of the country and at all ages, most people are characterized by a lack of more contact with others,” senior adviser Nora Clausen in Opinion said.
The proportion of those who feel lonely has increased by 6 percentage points to 32% since October.
Among those under 25, half state that they feel lonely.
A total of 26,700 Norwegians were asked if they feel lonely, while 11,500 were asked if they missed more contact with others.
