Det finns en tendens i dagens samhälle att ungdomar, istället för att resa och 'hitta sig själv', satsar på en bra utbildning och/eller jobb. De verkar inte följa sina drömmar i allt större grad, utan deras förväntningar är mer realistiska och nåbara. Frågan är om detta är ett beslut som individen fattar helt själv eller om det finns andra krafter som påverkar detta beslut. Denna studie har tagit upp hur dagens ungdomar upplever sin framtid, vad som påverkar denna syn och om det finns plats för drömmar i dagens samhälle. Det teoretiska och begreppsliga ramverket bestod av Giddens teori om reflexivitet, Sennetts teori om flexibilitet samt begreppet Govermentality, dessa har hjälpt till i förståelsen av hur ungdomarna ser på sin framtid.

Around the 1950s an explosive population growth started in the Third World. Parallel with the population growth a global network grew up advocating population control and limited population growth. Sweden had a unique place in that network through a pioneering role promoting the issue in the UN organization. During the 20th century Sweden was a pioneer country in terms of initiatives for population control. Ceylon family planing pilot project was something new in a time when other donors considered family planning be too controversial area for bilateral aid projects.
