Abstract

The United Nation (UN) and it`s agencies predict major population shifts in the rest of the 21st Century. These changes will substantially impact Physical and Mental Well-being of billions of people. Predictions are based on current trends and are subject to various interpretations. Assessments of current status and trends should consider uncertainties and allow for flexibility if needed. Especially culturally sensitive and subjective Psychometric data should be collected and documented with embedded metrics flexibility.
