What Lies Ahead. Countdown to the 21st Century.
United Way of America, Alexandria, VA.
Developed for the United Way of America by a volunteer group of top experts from corporations, foundations, consulting firms, and government, this report predicts trends in the economy, the society, the world, and the environment for the next 10 or more years. The report depicts the most likely scenario to come in the years ahead. The future is discussed in the following areas: (1) social trends; (2) economic trends; (3) regional trends; (4) political trends; (5) technological trends; and (6) trends in philanthropy. It also provides an analysis of two special trends (children's health and self-sufficiency) and suggests additional resources available through United Way. Trends are illustrated through line drawings and graphs. (KC)
