Young women suffer most from loneliness, according to a report from the Swedish National Institute of Public Health.
The institute says young women run a higher risk of suffering from anxiety and psychological illnesses. In the survey, more than 73,000 Swedes were asked about their social activities and how many friends and relatives they have.
Per Carlson, a researcher at the Swedish National Institute of Public Health, told Swedish Radio news that young women are not more lonely than other groups, its just that they are the ones who suffer more serious psychological illnesses from being alone, compared, for example, with older men.
In the group of young women between the ages of 16 and 20, every third woman says she has some type of anxiety, depression or worry. Only one in six young men reported the same problem and in the age group of men over 65 years old, only one in ten were suffering from psychological illnesses.
The worst affected are women with poor finances and who have immigrated to Sweden from outside Europe. Those who seem to feel really well are older Swedish-born men with a good income.

- I’m a Swedish man, although not a particularly old one and my income is not that very impressive, but I’d like to say I’ve saved many girls from the awful fate of loneliness.
Holy hot tubs batman. Lonely Swedish women need our assistance!!!
LOL
Um... I think those lonely females were probably thinking a little more long term... :)
Lonely Swedish women... must be a typo...
I too saved a lonely Swedish woman... well she’s part Swede, part Finn and 100% all mine... She’s my wife!
I would like to volunteer to help alleviate this terrible loneliness problem affecting young Swedish women.
"I ronery, too."

Slow down, Kee mo sabi. The article said it was mostly women not from Sweden, which might mean you are sharing the hot tub with a lonely female in a Burkini. ;-)

“If I wasn’t engaged, I would assist these lonely young Swedish women.
I’m helpful like that.”
- At least, you don’t seem to lack good intentions.
Probably, you pity these lonely, young girls just like I do..
And that my friends is why young men get extra time off from Purgatory.
That explains it.
