*In a World with Ten Billion People, What Will Eight Billion Do?*

Rapid advances in automation, robotization and computerization are 
changing local and global job markets.
Worldwide, the youth are struggling to understand and define a 
meaningful role for themselves and a promising
future for their families. While the future for the innovators, leaders 
and entrepreneurs is brighter than ever before,

ask the question, is liberal democracy under threat?
