According to a new study, more than one in five adults found that their relationship broke down during the pandemic.
The Covid-19 Social Research of University College London found that young people aged 18 to 29 are most likely to report a breakdown in their romantic attachments.
In contrast, 35% of young people said their relationships have been affected, while 12% of adults 60 and older have experienced the same thing.
Experts suggest that unemployment, the inability to see people other than family members, and worry about money issues may be factors in the breakdown of the relationship.
The lead author of the study, Dr. Elise Paul from the UCL Institute Epidemiology and health, The report emphasized the “complex impact of the Covid-19 pandemic”.
She told protector: “Young people who report better relationships with their spouses or partners may benefit from vacation or remote work, allowing them more time to be together.
“On the other hand, the pressure of the pandemic and lockdown measures prevent people from seeing people outside of their families, which may lead to the breakdown of other relationships, especially those with people who do not live nearby.”
This research funded by the Nuffield Foundation has more than 70,000 participants.
On the other hand, nearly half of young people said that the quality of their relationship has improved in the past year.
Most people who are satisfied with their relationship are adults aged 30-59 and 60 years and older.
