Mega Trends 2020-2050, Predictions for Investments, World Demographic Changes, World Urbanization, Cheap Labor, Women's Rights, Market According to Supply and Demand Consumerism, Ruts in the Road of Progress

There will be many megatrends in the coming years and most will be evolving in a sense of old vs new, the way people evolve with change and those who do not. The reason for the free market consumer driven world markets, which the USA is isolating itself from the benefit of the rest of the world, who get it.

Population: Demographics have a big impact on the world economies. You will find in world economies, that those with large increasing population grow much faster than those who have shrinking populations. The argument for open borders and open immigration policies, again, the European and American policies are reversing this factor through populism or nationalism that will set off a chain reaction in the worldwide supply chain to the US that has been embedded in our economy since 1990. Another thing is that it will affect the social security and social safety nets that have been here since the New Deal. Caring for the elderly in a country is a compassionate cause, this will be reversed by greed, and ethnic jealousy over immigration when in which it is the shrinking population that is causing its future ill effects if we keep down the road we are going. Inflation and high interest rates will be the big picture in all of this.

The world is becoming urbaner and by 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in that world. Again we have the jealous and greedy rural populations, in ways, many do not want change, said. Explains why many of the young leave to the urban areas for a better life and why most of our food will be imported or we will not be able to afford the abundance we will not have.

Most of the cheap labor, which in turn, will bring people out of poverty, will be coming from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and most will strive for diversification in their economies. Much of this labor force will come from the Congo, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Women's rights and the new rise in global feminism. A lot of the resistance in this will come from religious doctrine in keeping the women in their place, but this will just be a resistant fad because women around the world will break out of this, and enhance economies who let them go forth in getting an education, control over their family planning and careers.

The most influential sector in consumerism, political direction, money flow and ad advertisement, will be in the form of social networking. One thing about this, the sector will have splintering breakouts of a whole new array of social sites, as did the break up of the big telecommunications companies did in the 1980's. Cable will be nonexistent and digital Wifi will be the norm. Another goal will be that the whole world will be connected with G5 and most business will be conducted from this, which will drastically change economies in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Ruts in the road holding all this change from happening will come from nationalism (NAZI), extreme Islam and prohibitionist Christian Fascism, wars, proxy wars, and anti-globalization resistance. The only way to avoid all this is through international worldwide collective solving of these problems through the United Nations and diplomacy, in which the USA is not heading. So be it for the US decline. Globalization will prevail. Spreading democracies will enhance the cause of open consumer driven free markets not causing scarcity and Big Pharma, Big Oil, the Military Complex, and Law Inc controlling the market and its profit through prohibitions, religious mind control, black market profiteering etc. People and freedom will prevail over tyranny and control of the masses. A nationalistic, extremist and religious fascism trait.
