economic prospects
= the future possibilities for a national economy
The economic prospects for very small countries are quite positive these days.
social mobility =
the ability of people to progress in terms of salary, lifestyle and social status
The greatest aid to social mobility is good education and training.
the private sector =
private businesses, as opposed to ‘the public sector’ meaning state-
owned or controlled services
I definitely want to work in the private sector after I graduate. It is a more stimulating
environment than the public sector.

the changes in society in terms of age, income, numbers, origins and location
in a country
Demographic changes in Scandinavia have been dramatic, with substantial immigration and an
ageing indigenous population.

Japanese people have perhaps the highest longevity in the world.
