The Independent solicits donations to fund journalists, maintain on-the-ground reporting, and keep reporting free without paywalls so quality journalism remains accessible. The outlet emphasizes coverage across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and stresses balanced sourcing and documentary work. New research from Bupa, based on a survey of 8,000 adults, finds that 38% of 16- to 24-year-olds feel lonely or isolated because of their work circumstances versus 24% of all workers. Many in that age group began careers during the Covid pandemic and may never have experienced fully on-site roles.
Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Many young workers are starting to return to the office as they are feeling lonely while working from home, new research has revealed. A sudden swell of fully remote or hybrid jobs remained after the Covid pandemic, as many workers found they valued the freedom the arrangement offered. However, four in ten 16- to 24-year-olds (38 per cent) say they feel lonely or isolated because of their work circumstances, research from Bupa has revealed.
