Mapping of loneliness interventions in the EU
This policy brief showcases the new mapping tool developed by the JRC to browse and search for loneliness interventions across the EU. Most interventions identified in the non-exhaustive mapping are implemented by NGOs (37%), followed by local governments (18%), and joint initiatives with several partners (12%). Most interventions specifically target older adults (55%) while only 8% target youth. Given the prevalence of loneliness among youth, there is a need to increase the offer for this age group. Also other risk groups should be considered in interventions. The most common approach of interventions is to connect people (41%) or to provide group and/or social activities (26%) for the participants.
