The purpose of this paper is to consider loneliness as a public (policy) problem and
to review current “anti-loneliness” policies in Europe and the world, in order to
offer guidelines for anti-loneliness policy in a particular area. The approach to
this issue is based on methods characteristic for the public policy science.
Firstly, the paper explains what qualifies some situation to be perceived as a
public problem. It has been shown that loneliness throughout Europe and the
world is a serious public problem and that various measures (policies) are taken
against it. The paper presents current knowledge and experience on loneliness
as a public problem. The final part of the paper analyzes the common elements
of anti-loneliness and anti-isolation policies (worldwide) and offers guidelines
for the development of anti-loneliness policy in areas where such policies have
yet to be adopted.
