Field notes
The methodology uses the latest reported year for each measure, scales results between the weakest and strongest country, reverses the “feel left out” measure, and averages the available measures. The page says countries need at least four of six measures and cautions that the result is comparative rather than an absolute loneliness score. It also identifies Meet & Mint as the team behind the index and links to related event projects.
