How will future population trends affect public relations?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Population growth is especially rapid in non-Western nations. The competition for the earth's limited resources will increase. In the best-case scenario, this will mean increased economic trade and international cooperation. In the worst-case scenario, this could mean the increasing likelihood of wars and terrorism. This growth also presents an environmental challenge. But it presents public relations opportunities for future environmental cooperation. In the United States, the baby boom generation will age and will place a greater strain upon the generations that follow. Issues important to older citizens will take on increasing importance. At the same time, there will be a smaller percentage of working people (breadwinners) carrying the tax burden.
