The Living Conditions of Isolated and Secluded Young Adults: Policy Options for Supporting Them

Abstract

In this article, I aim to find out the direction of support at the level of central administrative agencies by identifying the vulnerable life conditions of isolated and secluded young adults. Isolated or secluded young people lack meaningful social relationships with others and social support that can help them in times of difficulty. Isolated or secluded young adults have lower overall life satisfaction levels and experience multidimensional vulnerabilities. Youth-friendly support is needed to prevent young adults from being isolated or secluded. In order to support isolated and secluded young adults, we should have policy goals for their recovery and social integration based on stable institutional foundations such as regular surveys and legal grounds.
