It seems loneliness and social isolation is on the rise for younger generations, not just sexually and romantically, but in all respects. | It seems loneliness and social isolation is on the rise for younger generations, not just sexually and romantically, but in all respects. | ||
Another survey by WSJ/NBC News (Day 2019) found that only 32% of millennials aged 18-34 reported having children as very important to their values, compared to 44% of adults aged 39-54 and 53% of adults aged >55. This indicates that not only are millennials the loneliest generation, they are also the generation that is least likely to value the concept of building a family which might ameliorate that loneliness. | |||
