The perspective that Spaniards have of what the country will be like in 10 years does not invite optimism. There will be, according to half of the population, more poverty, more unemployment, deaths from cancer will skyrocket, loneliness will increase, and wars and climate disasters will subjugate the world.
This is clear from the survey on social trends which was published this Wednesday by the public Center for Sociological Research (CIS), based on 35 questions asked between November 8 and 14 with more than 3,800 interviews with citizens from all communities. The main conclusions indicate that the four main problems that will exist in the world in 10 years will be, in this order, wars, climate change, poverty and unemployment.
Fall in birth rate, social ties…
But according to those surveyed, we are also heading towards a much more individualistic society. In this way, 55.3% of those surveyed predict that in a decade your bond with the family will diminishthat loneliness or isolation will increase (79.9% predict this) and that interest in material things (58.3%) and success itself (57.9%) will also increase.
More deaths from oncological diseases
In parallel, they also believe that social and economic differences will grow (63.2%), that separations and divorces will increase (61.1%), the birth rate will fall (72.5%) and there will be an increase in interest in health and personal care (73.3%).
Specifically, 46.8% think that there will be more deaths due to oncological diseases32.5 percent believe the opposite and believe that they will be lowered and another 19.6 percent defend that the situation will remain as it is now in 2034.
With regard to AIDS, whose world day is celebrated next Sunday, a third (34.7%) of Spaniards think that there will be fewer casesalso of viral diseases. 32.8 percent believe that cases will remain as they are now in a decade, while 30.9 percent are pessimistic as they believe that there will be even more infectious diseases.
As for the drug use The outlook is not too optimistic either. 47.6 percent of those consulted consider that it will have increased, compared to only 11.1 percent who believe that this consumption will have been controlled. A third (38.4%) think it will remain as it is today.
Young people with fewer opportunities to become independent and start a family
The CIS also addresses a new question: “Do you believe that young people have more, the same or fewer opportunities than their parents had at their age?” He 84% believe that they have fewer opportunities to become independent, as well as to start a family (77%). Their opinion is divided regarding being able to develop better professionally (52%), but they do greatly highlight that young people have more opportunities to travel (83%) as well as to study (84%) than past generations.
Regarding who influences political opinions when voting or expressing one opinion or another, 16.2% of those surveyed answered that His first influence is social networks and the internet. 20% point to the candidate or political leader. 10.9%, to television. Family and acquaintances are the main influence for 10.2%. The radio, for 8%. And newspapers, for 5.2%.
