Americans' social activity has fallen sharply over 30 years
Original: Americans' social activity has steeply declined in the past 30 years
New polling analysis from Data for Progress shows that Americans' social activity has declined steeply over the past three decades, adding to a growing body of research on loneliness and weakening community ties in the United States. Readers are debating possible causes, including remote work, screen time, economic pressure and changing habits around socialising with friends and neighbours.
Why now: Concerns about a loneliness epidemic and shrinking social lives in America are a recurring and highly debated topic.
