Week Four: Tutorial Activity - People and Lifestyles Within Our Imagined Scenario

PEOPLE AND THEIR LIFESTYLES: based on assumptions and current trends
In order to obtain a greater understanding of the people in 2050, we first conducted some initial research surrounding population statistics and made some assumptions about how these may evolve into the future...
  • Due to the current trends, divorce rates will be increasing, resulting in varying family dynamics
  • Due to rising costs, more women are entering the workforce and are, in return, having less children.
  • Less focus on families and more focus on careers.
  • Smaller families also resulting from restricted income and not being able to afford a big enough home.
  • More people share-housing for cheaper accommodation (restricted income).
  • More people moving to cities = overcrowding and overpopulation in cities.
  • Decline in religious groups (due to current trends).
  • More promiscuity
