The Next Generation: Preparing Today'S Kids For An Extraordinary Future

Around 35% of the world’s population is under 20 years of age. Sometimes referred to as Gen Z and Gen Alpha, they will become the movers and shakers of the 21st century. Many already are. With widespread access to the internet, this Future Generation will transform the planet. Their unprecedented entrepreneurial involvement will unleash one of the greatest economic and social evolutions in human history.

The timing of their emergence is significant. By most indicators, their rise is occurring during the best time in human history. It is the safest, the healthiest, the wealthiest and the most productive era since civilization began. Yet this next stage in human history will likely be characterized by unrelenting change and dramatic uncertainty.

This book will clarify those changes for parents and educators, with specific reference to the pending robot/ human interface, and to the near-future dramatic alterations to the workplace. It will then provide a series of long-term sustainable options for preparing today’s children for that amazing world up ahead. It will be a book that accepts the reality of today’s complex and sometimes unsettling world, and yet it will be a book filled with hope.
