The document discusses perspectives on the future for Latvia from a futurist analyst. It describes major global trends including the economic rise of emerging markets like BRICS countries, growing urbanization and middle classes in Asia and Africa, and challenges facing the EU like population decline and aging. Specific challenges and opportunities for Latvia are also examined, including developing high-value industries and finding a niche in globalized markets as a small country. The future is framed as a "Great Transition" period of significant global economic shifts over the coming decades.

‘Value chains are changing. The 21st century
real-time economy, 24x7 stock exchanges and
banking, just in time supply and
delivery, minimizing stocks, individual products
instead of mass production are based on
intensive use of communications, Internet-based
principles and technologies
Even a small country can find its niche in
today’s
globalised market’

Perspectives On The Future For Latvia Dr James Bellini
THE WORLD OF TOMORROW
Notas do Editor
Futurology should not be about life on off-world colonies in the 23rd century, or about man-made eyes and brain transplants in the 22nd.To be of value to business decision-makers we must keep our minds on the ‘relevant’ future – on the major trends shaping the five, ten and fifteen years ahead.
No area of knowledge should be ignored. As an ‘historian of the future’, however, I am increasingly realising that the future is more about ‘sociology’ – about how people and organisations will behave and conduct themselves in the years ahead.
As an ‘historian of the future’ I spend a lot of time drawing on the lessons of the past to inform me about what is happening today and how things might pan out in years to come. One conclusion: nothing is ever really ‘new’. We may think the digital world of today is unique – but in many ways we have lived through similar experiences in past generations. Although some things about modern life have no precedent. A good start point is to have a very clear view of the realities of today. Many of these realities can be quite surprising.
We are being carried along by what I describe as The Great Transition – the biggest shift in global economic realities since the Industrial Revolution A matrix of convergent ‘tipping points’ that is re-shaping our worldThe shift in economic power to the emerging world - the e-World – not just to the giant BRICs nations but also to a second cohort of smaller economies like Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico and South AfricaEmerging global demographic realities a) a population explosion over coming decades where 95 % of future world population growth will be in this e-World b) rapidly ageing population profiles in older economies [EU, Japan etc] but also in high-growth countries like China with associated challenges.The e-World will have to transform its built environment if it is to prosper. Estimates of the cost of massive new infrastructure projects over the next 25 years exceed $50 trillion – roughly equal to the entire global economy today.As a result of all these trends, new patterns of global trade, investment and financial flows, new e-World brands coming into the marketplace ...Meanwhile, ‘old economic bloc’ of EU, Japan etc will see falling populations, generally lower economic growth compared to long-term trend ...
The major demographic trend in a developed society like the UK – an ageing population – is bound to have significant impact on our built environment and therefore on the look and feel of everyday life. In the UK today the fastest-growing age group is the over-90s. The number of UK citizens over 50 now exceeds the number of school age children. What does such a trend imply for, say, our schools, homes and hospitals, which still reflect earlier demographic realities? At the same time people are choosing new ways of living – the fastest-growing household type in the UK today is the single person household ... the nuclear family is in marked decline ...Such trends indicate the steady demise of the semi-detached home and the growth of high-density housing, coupled with a greater search for ‘community’ ... The issue: what will shape the ‘community’ in a digital, post-family age?
