Does the hard Lefschetz theorem hold for hyperplane sections for singular subvarieties of smooth projective varieties?

Suppose $Y$ is a hypersurface of a smooth projective $X$. For which degree k values defined below, do we always get isomorphism when studying the cohomology of $Y$? What can be said about the general version of this? If $Y$ is a subvariety of codimension say $i$, to which codimension $i$ and to which $k$ do we get isomorphism between $H^{n - k}(X) \cong H^{n + k}(X)$?
