Analysts expect that in the future, when more women transition into paid jobs, this trend will enable a "social revolution." According to information from a University of Washington study, "living within 40 kilometers of a grandmother boosts the amount of participation in creating a career in married women with young children by 4-10%."
The primary trend for the global population, according to a December 2022 essay by Harvard economists for the International Monetary Fund, is aging. The rise of more persons in economic relations who are claiming social benefits and governmental support, according to The Economist, will result in a huge increase in government spending.
