THE RISING TIDEThree Trends Driving the Emergence of the Young World
The decade of the 2010s will witness the convergence of three critical trends that each exert a powerful pull on the economic trajectory of the world: the aging of the developed economies, the spread of ubiquitous data networks across the globe, and the rise of indigenous entrepreneurism as an alternative a path to economic development from the top-down economic assistance model that prevailed in the postcolonial period. These trends on their own are relatively well-known and planned-for; their interaction gives rise to profound uncertainties.
Demographers, sociologists, technologists, economists, and political scientists tend to study each of these trends in isolation. Consequently, forecasts about the future of the workforce, the future of technology, and the future of the developing world tend to reflect the siloed expertise of the individuals and institutions conducting the analysis.
