註釋This essay explores the relationship between loneliness and housing, and considers whether housing policy in Australia can help address its impact on health. It discusses the rise in loneliness in contemporary society and its policy relevance, and demographic groups at risk, including single people, migrants, homeless people, older people, single parents, and younger adults. The essay draws on the international research literature and the findings from a 2009 survey of Australian adults. The authors conclude that housing is a critical point of intervention, and policies should be developed that address housing pathways, biographies and careers.
