Survey on Female Isolation: Even among females, younger age groups lean towards SNS while older age groups prioritize direct communication.

This is a summary of the survey results on the feeling of isolation among women according to different age groups. Particularly focusing on frequencies like ‘4 to 5 times a week’ or ‘none at all’, highlighting the sense of isolation among older age groups.

Direct Face-to-Face Communication:

Ages 16-19: The percentage of those meeting 4 to 5 times a week is at 77.2%, indicating a lower sense of isolation.
Ages 20-29: The percentage meeting 4 to 5 times a week is at 20.1%, suggesting some level of isolation.
Older Age Group (60 and above): Even in this older age bracket, a meeting frequency of 4 to 5 times a week, at 15.9%, underscores the importance of communication.

Telephone (including Video Calls):

Ages 16-19: The lowest percentage meeting 4 to 5 times a week via phone suggests less isolation.
Ages 20-29: Some level of isolation exists even through phone calls, especially with frequencies less than once a month.
Older Age Group (80 and above): Communication via phone is crucial, indicating a need to alleviate feelings of isolation.

Social Media (Chat apps like LINE):

Ages 16-19: The lowest percentage meeting 4 to 5 times a week, signifying higher communication via social media.
Ages 20-29: Even through social media, there’s a sense of isolation, especially with frequencies less than once a month.
Older Age Group (80 and above): Limited usage of social media suggests its effectiveness in alleviating isolation is limited.

Email or Text Messages:

Ages 16-19: A high percentage meeting 4 to 5 times a week via email suggests its extensive use.
Ages 20-29: Some level of isolation exists even through emails, especially with frequencies less than once a month.
Older Age Group (80 and above): Limited usage of emails implies the need for diversified communication means.

These survey results indicate fluctuating levels of isolation among women of different age groups. Especially among the older age groups, various communication methods like direct face-to-face communication, phone calls, social media, and emails might assist in reducing feelings of isolation.
