2019 Forcasts
2019 Forcasts
01
2019 is already here, and it is no different from any other year. But people always like to associate a lot of things with a new year, such as hopes, wishes, changes, determinations, and new year resolutions particular.
Though the truth is most of new year resolutions fail ultimately, people still like to do that. lt’s just like a game, not until the end of the year no one would realize that barely nothing has achieved, and game is over.
Economists are a group of people who are keen to forecast what will happen in the coming year. We know that they are not reliable as they have expected, while we are still interested in what they are saying.

In a BBC program the presenter give a list of things that might happen in 2019, maybe written by economists, who knows. It seems that many eye-catching rises are waiting ahead.
First,
in America it is the first time that baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 will be outnumbered by Millennials born between 1986 and 1996. It is a good news from the perspective of economists, as more young people mean more creativity and consumption.
However, demographists in China become worried about the subject even the country’s population currently remain the highest in the world. After almost forty years of one-baby policy, China is suffering the results, the problem of ageing.
With the loosening of one-baby policy in 2016, the newly born in the past two years are far behind what experts had estimated previously. The willingness to have two babies by married couples is returning to the old track again, surrounded by a feeling of sluggish and fearful sensation against living cost and raising pressure.
Second,
in 2019 half of the world’s population will be online. And most of these new Internet users wilcome from India, where for the first time its national GDP will rise above that of Britain-the former colonial ruler.
Indians like to compete with Chinese in any aspects. As for the birth rate, we probably can’t beat them in this area, and their average age of population is much younger than Chinese.
Now we are getting older before we get richer in comparison with developed countries, not like India, poorer but younger.
Third,
it is neither China nor India but Syria that might have the fastest GDP growth rate in 2019 as it tries to bounce back from years of war.
China’s growth rate is slow, but its ambitions remain high. It’s going to open the biggest airport vice with Turkey. The mega hub near Beijing will have capacity of 100 million passengers a year and help make China the biggest source of tourists on the planet in 2019.
Fourth,
2019 will celebrate the 50 years anniversary of the first Moon visit by Neil Armstrong, an American astronaut in 1969. His small step means a giant leap by mankind in exploring the Moon history.
China is parcipating space adventures passionately and aiming to fly even higher. It has successfully launched an unmanned mission on the other side of the Moon earlier January. When the pictures sent back by the device appeared on the newspaper, people are so thrilled that it is a great breakthrough since human first touched the mysterious star 50 years ago.
Fifth,
also taking off in 2019 is legal cannabis market. It is estimated that the market will increase 40％ thanks to the changing laws in Canada and parts of America.
It’s horrible for the public, especially for children, since cannabis is legalized that it can be added to foods and drinks, absorbed by people with no intention to.
What will happen if cannabis amassed in human body’s? To be honest, we totally can’t understand the western people’s mentality，freedom for some groups but potentially damages for the others.
We are already walking on the street of year 2019, let’s wait and see since we have so many riddles to find out.
