Abstract

In this work, we investigate whether area-level social connectedness help in reducing depression across European old adults. Our results show that people aged 75+ benefit in terms of reduced depression from living in areas that facilitate social connectedness. Heterogeneity in the level of benefits emerges depending on personality type.
