THE COST OF UNWANTED LONELINESS IN SPAIN
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS THE ESTIMATION OF THE COSTS CAUSED BY UNWANTED LONELINESS IN SPAIN FROM A SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE.
This report measures healthcare costs, both in relation to the frequency of use of healthcare services and the use of medications. Likewise, the economic costs are also measured in terms of productivity losses related to the reduction in working time that unwanted loneliness produces in our country. The study also measures the loss of well-being that occurs as a consequence of being in a situation of unwanted solitude, related to premature deaths and the loss of people’s quality of life. Mental health is present throughout the document as health problems at risk due to loneliness.
