Uncertainty and the Younger Generations
Looking ahead to 2023, The Economist wrote that "in retrospect, the pandemic marked the end of a period of relative stability and predictability in geopolitics and economics - today's world is much more unstable and unpredictability is the new normal". Society today is experiencing a series of megatrends which are bringing slow but persistent change – megatrends which range from climate change to demographic trends like the aging population – and which are being accelerated by shocks such as pandemics, war, financial crisis and geopolitical upheavals. And this uncertainty impacts strongly on the ability to make decisions on the future, especially for younger generations and their choices.
In the new Story Scanner podcast, Francesco Billari, Rector of Bocconi University, discusses together with 3 students of the Bocconi Student Media Center -Matteo Pozzi, of Radio Bocconi, Bojan Zeric, of Tra i Leoni, and Matilde Jorio, of Bocconi TV - the major issues that younger generations will face in 2023.
