| Let's prognosticate Update: 7/11/13 The Present and Future Family Update: 7/15/13 The Future of the 20 Somethings |
|
Everyone wants to know what the future holds. Here I offer my ideas on the subject. Here are a few hints as to what I'll discuss: First we want to know what the variables and the knowns which will govern the next twenty years in the world. Demographics: Demographics will govern much of the future: Here are few parameters: 1. All of the Western World is aging. The rich don't have children. This means simultaneously an aging population, the end of native Western World populations, replaced by immigrants from all over the planet. This has been the pattern repeated over and over again in history. It is the history of the United States as well. Populations will shrink, not grow, or at least level off giving the planet a breathing spell to solve critical problems. Young healthy people will be in great demand all over the planet. The consequences of all this and the sequela is what the blog will identify. I'll go through the detail later. See you then. 7/11/13 The first issue and the flip side of the problem is that with aging: 1. The Family is Impacted: "The family is one of the fundamental building blocks of society. If you do not have strong families, you are not going to have a strong society. Unfortunately, the state of the family in America continues to deteriorate. The marriage rate has fallen to an all-time low, we lead the world in divorce, and about a third of all children live in a home without a father. Our young people have been taught that getting married and having a family is not a priority, and many of those that would like to get married and have children are not able to get the kinds of jobs that they need to support a family." http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/27-facts-that-prove-that-the-family-in-america-is-in-the-worst-shape-ever Startling Family Facts Married Families are becoming a minority in the US http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-12-14/local/35287431_1_couples-decline-in-marriage-rates-median-age "100 years ago, 4.52 were living in the average U.S. household, but now the average U.S. household only consists of 2.59 people." US has the highest number of one person households in the World http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_one_per_hou-people-one-person-households All time low birth rates http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2358813/Baby-bust-National-birthrate-hit-time-low-weak-economic-recovery.html "Experts tell us that about 50 percent of all U.S. children will be on food stamps at some point before they reach the age of 18. Up to half a million American children are homeless even as you read this. And yet we continue to insist that we are the wealthiest nation in the world. Well, if we are so wealthy, then why are so many millions of our children suffering so desperately? Part of the reason is because an increasing number of parents can't find work. According to a U.S. Labor Department report, the average duration of unemployment in the United States hit 34.4 weeks in May, which was a big increase from 33 weeks during April. To give you some perspective how incredibly bad that is, the average duration of unemployment was only 16.5 weeks in December 2007. The truth is that when U.S. workers lose their jobs they are finding it exceedingly difficult to find new ones. In fact, 45.9% of those currently unemployed in America have been out of work longer than six months. That is the highest percentage since the Labor Department began keeping track of this statistic back in 1948."

That tomorrow. 7/12/13 What is the future of the 20 somethings? 20 Somethings are the future and that future is being made by them now.
