Question 35224 — poverty

Summary

Ms. Florence Provendier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the increase in the number of isolated people in France. The current health crisis has strong economic and social consequences. In its annual report on loneliness for December 2020, the Fondation de France reports 7 million people who find themselves in a situation of isolation, or 14% of French people. This number, which has continued to increase since years, has become more pronounced with the two periods of confinement that we have just gone through. Beyond this numerical evolution, it is the typology of the populations concerned which is significantly modified. While they were mostly spared from this scourge, 13% of young people say they suffer from isolation compared to 2% in 2010. The report also specifies that the wealthiest categories are no longer spared. THE Isolated people have this thing in common, namely more precarious living conditions than the average French person. Between the total absence of social ties and increased impoverishment, this crisis, which further precarizes the most vulnerable, suggests an explosion of loneliness in France. Knowing that 18-29 year olds constitute the poorest age group, this could partly explain the increase in isolation over the year. elapsed. She welcomes the numerous initiatives that have been put in place and the surges of solidarity that have emerged since the start of the crisis, to combat isolation and loneliness. If the Government has strengthened the fight against the isolation of elderly people with the creation of a dedicated portal and a national toll-free number, she questions it about the measures planned to address the explosion of isolation and precariousness among young people in particular and of all strata of the population in general.
