Framtíðarfræði,
Samfélagið og stjórnun. Er öldrun tækifæri eða kvöð?
Sviðsmyndir öldrunar 2020 -2040
- Hvaða forsendur liggja á bak við „jákvæða eða neikvæða þróun“ öldrunar? Verður þróunin út frá raunveruleikanum í dag, eða mun „öldrun verður stöðvuð?“
- Tækifæri fyrir atvinnulífið og áhrif öldrunar á fyrirtæki og stofnanir.
- Atriði sem hafa áhrif á líkindi ólíkra sviðsmynda – framtíða.
- Hagrænar rökfærslur: Þrep sem unnið er að – Langlífi/ávinningur.
- Samfélagslegar rökfærslur: Líf án öldrunar.
- Hvernig er hægt að takast á við umbreytingar sem eru handan morgundagsins?
