Loneliness has been measured in 142 countries — this isn't a local problem. It's a human one.
The World Health Organization's Commission on Social Connection now treats loneliness as seriously as smoking or obesity, tying it to roughly 871,000 deaths a year worldwide. Read the WHO's findings on social connection ↗. In India, large-scale survey data puts the number of urban adults who feel lonely often, sometimes, or always at well over four in ten — one of the higher rates recorded anywhere in the world.
