Fossil fuels will be completely abandoned, nature will regain its rights. Artificial intelligence will make a lot of progress in the fields of education, medicine and many others. Climate change will have an impact (sea level, devastating storms, forced migration)

How two words changed everything: "UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME"

The Future of Work in 2040 In 2040, work is no longer about survival—it’s about purpose. The old 9-to-5 grind is a thing of the past. Technology and artificial intelligence have automated most repetitive tasks, allowing people to focus on creativity, problem-solving, and personal growth. Universal basic income ensures that no one has to work just to afford food or shelter. Instead, people choose careers based on passion, not necessity. Education has adapted to this new reality. Schools no longer rely on standardized tests but focus on teaching critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and adaptability. Students learn at their own pace, assisted by AI tutors who personalize lessons to fit their strengths and interests. Lifelong learning is the norm, and switching careers is easy and encouraged. Mental health is a priority. With flexible work schedules, people have more time for family, hobbies, and self-care. Workspaces are designed for collaboration and well-being, blending nature, technology, and human connection. Stress and burnout are rare because society values balance over profit. This is the world I hope for—a world where work is meaningful, education is personal, and success is measured by happiness, not just productivity.

Twenty years is not enough time to impress a significant change, but in this future I would like to find social policies that really pay attention to the welfare of citizens, to their lives in every aspect and not just work, providing everything possible to ensure equitable living conditions for all. I would like there to be no more economic interests as the prime mover of every policy, but instead more collaboration at all levels of government.
