This year’s State of the World’s Children Report SOWC by Unicef examines the forces and trends shaping the world today and reflects on how they might shape the future.
The report explores three megatrends that will profoundly impact children’s lives between now and 2050: demographics shifts, the climate and environmental crises and frontier technologies, analysed by the United Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF and the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital.
It also presents three future scenarios – possible outcomes, not predictions – for how children could experience the world of 2050. The scenarios in the SOWC 2024 are based on several potential global trajectories, analyzing decadal averages from the 2000s through the 2050s.2 ‘Business-as-usual’ assumes a continuation of current trends; an accelerated development pathway means faster progress through increased social investment and a sustainability focus; and a delayed development track entails slower progress due to underinvestment and greater global fragmentation.
Findings from the scenario analysis cover seven areas: child survival and life expectancy; climate and environmental hazards; socioeconomic conditions; education; gender equality; conflict exposure and urbanization.
