Exploring change in social connection.: PH4-193/2023E-PDF
"Humans are fundamentally social creatures. Our relationships and social connections are so important to our identity, our health, and our ability to live and work together ... For many people, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted just how important our connections are in life—not just to humans, but to pets, the land, and computers and other machines as well. New circumstances and norms altered relationships, and how and with whom we connect ... Guided by the organization’s mandate, Policy Horizons Canada (Policy Horizons) identified sources of change that could fundamentally affect our capacities, opportunities, and motivations for connecting to one another. It builds on the work of our first social foresight report, Exploring Social Futures. We hope to spark thought and conversation about the future of social connection, and its impact not only on people, but also governments, business, and society at large. Our goal is to contribute to the development of policies and programs that are robust in the face of the changes ahead"--Foreword, page 4.
