+[[library:future_of_government_in_2030|Future of Government in 2030]] by [[encyclopedia:erepublic|e.Republic]] is a series of short essays compiling the thoughts of over two dozen futurists. One of which sees governments facing the challenge of adapting to aging populations. This will involve reevaluating the mix of services provided, accommodating the needs of retirees, and addressing changes in tax bases as individuals relocate to areas with lower taxes and more favorable climates. Governments will need to find ways to deliver services efficiently while making difficult decisions about service reductions.
 ====GAO 2018-2023 Strategic Plan: Trends Affecting Government and Society====

 ====Future of Highways====
-[[library:future_of_highways|Future of Highways]] by [[encyclopedia:arup|ARUP]]
+[[library:future_of_highways|Future of Highways]] by [[encyclopedia:arup|ARUP]] examines the future of mobility and transport infrastructure. It identifies 'A growing and aging population' as a megatrend with global implications for the future of highways. By 2050, the global population is projected to reach approximately 9.5 billion, with varying population trends across regions. Aging populations in countries like Russia, Japan, and Germany will lead to population decline, while explosive growth is expected in some parts of the developing world, particularly in cities. The shift towards an older population will impact mobility solutions, as older generations may have different needs and preferences.
 ====Review of how science and technology could contribute to better energy management in the future: futures studies====
-[[library:review_of_how_science_and_technology_could_contribute_to_better_energy_management_in_the_future_futures_studies|Review of how science and technology could contribute to better energy management in the future: futures studies]] by UK Government Office for Science
+[[library:review_of_how_science_and_technology_could_contribute_to_better_energy_management_in_the_future_futures_studies|Review of how science and technology could contribute to better energy management in the future: futures studies]] by the UK Government Office for Science reviewed existing futures studies surrounding energy issues. The various studies found similarities in the social factors and trends that influence energy consumption. Population and lifestyles/values were identified as the primary drivers of energy usage. The studies discussed the expected population growth in developing regions and the anticipated decline in developed regions. Additionally, the impact of urbanization, demographics, and land use on energy consumption was examined across multiple studies.

It highlights social factors that could contribute to unrest and conflict, such as:
+  * "Increased age disparities, including an ageing global population but growth of youth populations and youth unemployment in certain regions."
+  * "Population decline in Europe, but slight growth in the rest of the world."
 ====Central Asia 2050: Unleashing the Region’s Potential====
