"How do I find friends?" is the most common question German influencers get asked on social media. Loneliness has become a pressing issue in Germany, with far-reaching consequences.
It’s a problem that is present in Germany, even if it’s also present in other countries, and the article does mention studies and statistics that show that it’s definitely happening in Germany, too (e.g. Techniker Krankenkasse Loneliness Report 2024).
Also note “This article was originally written in German.” - it was written for a German-speaking audience, they’re speaking with German experts and they’re citing studies and statistics from Germany, alongside the WHO study.
If it is a German problem, the analysis looks for something German as the cause. If it is international then the analysis should focus on causes that are not typical German.
The framing puts the focus of the analysis on the wrong details.
