The article presents the results of a quantitative study on economic migrants, investigating whether they experience loneliness along with its causes and consequences. The results are analysed within the framework of C. Ryff’s concept of well-being, which takes into account six constitutive aspects. Due to data limitations, only three aspects were examined: self-development, life purpose, and positive relationships with others. The main conclusion is that these migrants assess self-development and life purpose highly, but their social relationships fall short of expectations, both in quality and frequency. This leads to loneliness for most migrants, which in turn may contribute to a deterioration in their health.
