Summary
As we near the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, The State of the World’s Children 2024 looks ahead to the year 2050. It asks: How can we best secure a future where the rights of every child are realized – a world where all children survive, thrive and meet their full potential? This report examines three powerful, long-term global forces – megatrends – that will profoundly impact children’s lives between now and 2050: demographic shifts, the climate and environmental crises, and frontier technologies. The report also models how several potential pathways could shape how children experience the world of 2050.
