Abstract
Since the 2020s, loneliness and isolation have attracted increasing attention as social issues. In this study, we first explain the social background through which loneliness and isolation have attracted attention. Next, we examined how information and communication devices which rapidly became popular in the 2000s affected loneliness and isolation. Finally, based on the results of the 2023 survey, the difficulties in resolving loneliness and isolation were discussed.
