Has loneliness and social isolation among older adults increased in the Nordic countries because of the social distancing during the covid-19 pandemic? What do we know about the mental and physical wellbeing of older adults in this period? Are older adults more resilient to changes during crises? What does the latest Nordic research in the field show?

At the Nordic Welfare Centre's webinar on 26 October 2021 some of the leading researchers in the Nordic region present and discuss new information on these questions.
