What is Ensomhed i Tal?
Loneliness in Numbers is Copenhagen Economics, Economists without Borders and Impactly's contribution to combating the massive burden of loneliness in Denmark. Ensomhed i Tal includes a tool that calculates the socio-economic consequences of interventions against loneliness in Denmark.
Loneliness has costs for the economy. Research has shown that there are significant socio-economic gains from reducing loneliness, such as improved quality of life and lower healthcare costs. However, it can be difficult to quantify these benefits, which can make it challenging to evaluate the impact of the intervention and thus limit the ability to raise funds.
