This paper aims to examine the extend of loneliness of the Afro-diasporic community in Germany. We focus on Afro-diasporic migrants aged 18-50 (N=213) and compare them with native Germans (N=14,269) from the German Family Demography Panel Study (FReDA 2021). First, we present findings on the prevalence of emotional loneliness (Afro-diaspora: 21.1 %, natives: 13.1 %) and cognitive loneliness (Afro-diaspora: 19.4 %, natives: 13.4 %). Especially social rejection is reported more frequently by Afro-diasporic migrants (21.30 %, natives: 16.32 %). In a second step, we estimate the outcome variables (emotional and cognitive loneliness) of cross-sectional regressions. The models focus on compositional differences between migrants and natives (e.g. education) as well as on cultural factors influencing loneliness (e.g. religion). Preliminary results indicate that loneliness is significantly higher in the Afrodiasporic community compared to the native German population.Intersectional risks such as low socioeconomic status or being female increase the likelihood of higher loneliness.
