Women feel social isolation stonger than men: study

Anxiety, loss of security, fatigue and stress are the emotions that 2/3 of Polish women feel at the moment. Among men, this percentage is several percentage points lower. According to a new study by Provident Polska and Dentsu Data Services, women are more severely affected by the loss of psychological comfort and social isolation. Mostly they also have responsibilities related to the remote teaching of children. On the other hand, for both sexes, the challenge is the uncertainty associated with the possibility of losing jobs and income and even making everyday purchases in the sanitary regime.

“As much as 68 percent of Polish women feels it and says that a pandemic has a great impact on their daily lives. This group is slightly smaller among men (55 percent of respondents). Women feel particularly severely that cannot move freely, we cannot go to work, shopping, take the child to school, we cannot be mobile. 70 percent of Polish women pay attention to this fact, and among men – 50 percent,” Karolina Łuczak, spokesperson for Provident Polska, told Newseria Biznes agency.

Loneliness and lack of contact with other people are also much more often troubled by women.

“How do we deal with it? Women use messengers much more often, try to virtually meet with family and friends,” Karolina Łuczak said..

75 percent of women use Messenger more often than ever, and 30 percent – webcams.
