What does Mark McCrindle know about 2050 that the rest of us don’t? The futurist and social researcher explains our changing world, and what’s next for our family units, working lives, social norms, and wealth. Mark outlines emerging trends around AI pessimism and screentime backlash, and the skills we’ll need in the decades to come.
We explore how house prices have under-35s looking for assets beyond property, and why that carries real long-term risk. Hear how parents and grandparents are "giving with warm hands," passing on their wealth within their lifetimes, and how multigenerational households are losing their stigma. And how Gen X has become the "sandwich generation," absorbing costs from aging parents and adult children.
Plus, why the next global challenge won't be overpopulation, but the opposite: a shrinking world.
