Commission for the Future (1985 - 1998)

Function: Social or Economic Research

Location: Victoria, Australia

The Commission for the Future was established in January 1985 and was active in futures assessment. Some of the areas it studied included were the predicament of youth, the ecology of health, sustainable environments, skilling Australians, technological change and law, management and work organisation, education futures, biotechnology, the information society, foreign affairs, the greenhouse effect, labour trends or population studies. The commission was widely criticized throughout its life and had to endure ever decreasing budgets. It was eventually closed in 1998.
