Adapting to structural changes after decades of pluralizing lifestyles

After years of pluralizing lifestyles we today witness that societies are forced to adapt to structural changes as globalization or demographic change. In the years to come, the Western societies analyzed in “Delphi2017” and Russia too will need to find new approaches to the following structural drivers:

• On the way to a knowledge-based society - Reforms of the educational systems and the job markets
• Growing social gap - Can the middle class adhere the rich and the poor?
• How to deal with factors of insecurity such as globalization, migration and terror? - Seeking security and roots
• The sustainability debate - All links and affects all
• New female horizons - New offers for women
• The digital era and new media - The global mindset of the “creative class”
