Autonomous work groups will likely emerge as a solution for educated youth who cannot find traditional employment. These groups will allow freelancers and independent workers to unite for common goals like trading stocks. By pooling their resources, autonomous work groups will have more influence over companies and the economy. Governments may pass laws to regulate the activities of these independent groups.

2. Because of the technological and informational
revolutions most of the developed countries
encountered a problem of unemployment.
Figures shows that it increases year by year.
Companies usually choose to improve
technological base rather that to hire
employees.
We suppose this trend will influence on youth
and the whole society and economy in the
future.

3. The youth of the future
Our image of the youth of the future is
free-thinking and forward-looking people
They are smart, they want to work hard,
and they cannot sit at one place.
The youth of the future is very well-
educated, but they have no place to
apply their knowledge. Irony of life.

4. What will they do?
They will have to look for alternative
ways of earning money and fulfilling
their potential.
We see the development in the
appearance of a huge number of
freelancers. Technologies help to work
in the international space without
leaving home.

5. There is a possibility that they would come
up with idea of uniting in small groups. “A
problem shared is a problem halved “.
One of the purpose of uniting may be trade
on the stock exchange.
Young people can have common interests,
discussions, decisions, and also the profit. It
will allow them to work independently from
any specific company, so they are free to use
their resources as they like (time, people,
money, technologies).

6. What will be the consequences?
These small groups will be able to
influence the economy by buying stocks
of the definite companies presented on
the stock exchange.
After that governments will probably
create some laws and restrictions to
control the activity of these groups.
