Future of Germany: Rising Demand for Security by 2045

Horst Opaschowski's latest research highlights growing concerns over safety, economic stability, and societal changes.

Horst Opaschowski's 'Zukunftsbarometer' predicts that by 2045, over 90% of Germans will prioritize security concerns over other aspects of well-being.
Key societal worries include increasing violence, economic instability, and the affordability of housing, according to Opaschowski's findings.
Climate change remains a significant concern, but economic threats may reduce public focus on environmental issues.
Demographic shifts are expected, with a declining birth rate and a growing elderly population, leading to potential social isolation issues.
Opaschowski warns of a 'new form of wealth neglect' due to excessive national debt, risking the stability of intergenerational agreements.
