Generation 2050 #07

What would the world look like in 24, 25 years' time, when our kids, inshallah, we're all there for the year 2050.

Many World Cups, the five World Cups in between from then to now.

And preparing our youngsters, preparing our kids, my kids, your kids, your grandkids for that world.

And we spoke about many changes that we are expecting.

So we spoke about three broad changes.

So there is a demographic shift and change.

Demographics meaning some parts of the world, more babies.

Other parts of the world, less babies.

Some parts of the world, population is increasing.

And with population increasing, there's going to be a strain on resources, on jobs, on availability of places to live.

And we are in a country where it's expected the population will get more and more and more.

Which means... becomes more difficult to find employment and social upheaval.

Other parts of the world, they have another type of crisis.

Their population is collapsing.

They're not having babies.

And so this imbalance in the world is one of the things which is unavoidable.

And when you raise your kids, my kids, chances are that perhaps we're not raising them for Cape Town.

They might go to another country where they need to take.

And so what principles do I give? What lessons do I give my son, my daughter when they leave this country for another place where they don't have the support structure? They need to start maybe anew.

What are the kind of lessons that we need to prepare our kids? The next one we spoke about is technology.

And we've said that technology has disrupted us for the last 100 years very dramatically.

And as we know with technology, there's the good, the bad, the ugly.

Social media can learn from it.

You can, for the first time in our lives, you can have access to all the ulama in the world, all the different kiraat.

You can learn Hif, without a Hif teacher, you can learn it online, not ideal, but it's possible.
