Summary/Abstract: In the article, we discuss the COVID-19 epidemic-related lockdown in Slovenia during March and May 2020. We focus on a specific social group: solo-living women. We aim to answer two research questions: how did different age groups of solo-living women experience the pandemic and the pertaining protective measures, and which resources and coping strategies did they report? A practical implication of our study is the evidence-based recommendation that the planning and implementation of protective measures should pay close attention to youth and young adults since they are exposed to a particular socio-psychological vulnerability, amplified by certain circumstances and social expectations interrelated with their phase in their life trajectory.
