In 2040 true equality is achieved, there is no more gender pay gap and women and men are equally represented in the work sphere, as well as all races. All work is paid the same no matter what your profession is, whether you are a doctor or a mailman. Borders are not important anymore, because tried got so much bigger and that also means that people can live wherever they want and don't need a green card for it.

Utopia
February 21, 2040. I wake up as usual in my technological bed that has set the ideal sleeping temperature for me. I am happy and rested. Next to me I have my partner, and in the other room our baby girl whom we were able to adopt with ease. I open the window and see a few cars running by in the distance, but I don't hear the sound of them. How strange to think back to 20 years ago, when they could be heard whizzing by and giving off unhealthy smells. Today is a work day, I will be working from the multimedia platform from the comfort of my home, my partner will be going out for his usual manual work, which fortunately the AI is unable to do. He will drive our daughter to school, no problem, like all other parents, both moms and dads. The workday now lasts a maximum of 6 hours by law, after a minimum wage was also finally identified. When I think back to how bad it was years ago, now it seems like a dream. I am also very happy that our little girl in school can learn many things in her multi-ethnic class. We are now in the fourth generation of immigrant people, which also seems superfluous to say, however, it is interesting when once a month teachers do the Day of Cultures, to learn from others. Fortunately, today the household chores are done by our Robot given to all the families, so then in the afternoon we can all be together.
Utopia
In 2040, the rest of the world will follow Europe in the uptake of renewable energy. Europe, for its part, will learn from Bhutan and focus not on economic growth but on increasing people's well-being and happiness. People are living more in commune-style housing and loneliness has been eradicated from the continent. People eat mainly vegetarian food and, due to the collapse in demand, animals can be raised ethically on small farms. The working week is four days a week and wealth is shared equally and fairly between all people.
