Health insurance as we know it shall become a thing of the past. It will be largely replaced with Direct Primary Care, lower cost wellness services (like vitamin shops, massage therapists and fitness services) and the spreading of good info online. People will learn to Google their symptoms at the early stage and do something to change the course of events rather than waiting until they need medical intervention. Health insurance will persist as mostly covering major calamities -- which is as it should be.
People will start solving large scale problems with highly informed grass roots movements spread largely by internet instead of looking to the government and mega wealthy to fix everything.
Gig work shall be our era's version of The 40 Hour Work Week. It shall put power into the hands of the little guy to live where they want and work as much or as little as they want, giving them lifestyle perks previously only available to the jet set and comfortably well off retirees.
As men and women learn to work alongside each other, birth rates will go down because having a baby will no longer be a woman's primary means to secure a comfortable life for herself.
Men will eventually get a clue and figure out that "male privilege" comes with a serious cost, not just benefits. This will be a tipping point in so-called women's rights as people begin focusing on human rights for all people, including men who currently have money but also die younger than women, die in battle routinely, are frequently estranged from their kids due to the demands of their career, etc.
I am pretty sure I had another one I wanted to list, but it escapes me.
