Loneliness From Adolescence to Mid-life: Linking Patterns of Development to Long-term Occupational Outcomes

This study will use longitudinal data from the Young in Norway (YiN) Study, covering the span from adolescence to mid-life. Our objective is to investigate whether distinct developmental patterns of loneliness exist across this time period by employing growth mixture models. Ultimately, we will examine whether these identified patterns are associated with key occupational outcomes in mid-life. The relevant occupational outcomes will be obtained from Norwegian national registries.
