英国公共政策研究所发布的最新报告显示，该国11至24岁年轻人的孤独感和社交隔离现象急剧加剧1。无亲密朋友的年轻人比例从2014年的1%上升至2025年的5%1，而16至21岁青少年中拥有至少三个亲密朋友的比例则从2012年至2014年的85%下降至2023年至2025年的72%1。14至15岁人群对友谊满意度也出现明显下滑，从2012年至2014年的86%下降至2023年至2025年的76%1。
该报告将这一现象的根源指向紧缩政策、疫情影响、社交媒体和公共服务缩减等多重因素1。英国公共政策研究所副主任艾夫尼·莫贾里亚表示，"我们剥夺了太多帮助年轻人建立信心、连接和希望的地方、服务和途径"1。此外，年轻人面临的经济压力也加重了这一困境，首次购房者平均年龄已升至34岁，近五分之一的年轻人将收入的一半花在租金上1。该研究基于对150名年轻人的访谈和官方数据分析1。
A major report from the Institute for Public Policy Research reveals a sharp surge in loneliness and social isolation among young people aged 11 to 24 in England.1 The proportion of young people without close friends has risen from 1% in 2014 to 5% in 2025, while the share of 16- to 21-year-olds reporting at least three close friendships has fallen from 85% to 72% over the same period.1 Among 14- to 15-year-olds, satisfaction with friendships declined from 86% between 2012 and 2014 to 76% between 2023 and 2025.1
The thinktank attributes this deterioration to a combination of austerity policies, the pandemic, social media, and reductions in public services.1 Avnee Morjaria, deputy director of IPPR, stated that "we have stripped away too many of the places, services and pathways that help young people build confidence, connection and hope."1 The research, which draws on interviews with 150 young people alongside analysis of official data, also highlights broader economic pressures facing this generation.1 First-time homebuyers now average 34 years of age, and nearly one in five young people spend half their income on rent.1
