There is a difference between #characters and #archetypes. You can make up characters, as long as each character is based on a researched archetype.

People who make up personas are actually making up characters, but they make these characters without any grounding. There are usually no researched archetypes.

How to #Write for Different #Audiences: Tips for Adapting Your #Copy to Different #Demographics For #Copywriting
1. Writing for different audiences is essential to create content that resonates with readers. Understanding the target demographic is key to producing copy that engages and inspires action.
2. The first step in writing for different audiences is to understand their unique needs and preferences. Research your target audience to determine what motivates them, what problems they face & what solutions they are looking for.
1/ In context of #globaldemographics, 4 #megatrends are often referred to: population growth, population ageing, international migration and urbanization.
Here is a thread diving into these.

The 20th century began with 1.65 billion people in the world. It closed with 6 billion people.
This growth saw its ripple effects across the world ā from economic growth to environmental impact of the century.

The pill, which inhibits a cellular signalling protein called soluble adenylyl cyclase (SAC) that prevents sperm from swimming, was found to paralyse mouse sperm for at least three hours, preventing it from reaching an egg.

Americans think that they can solve all problems with immigration, but this creates a lot of social problems.
Right-wing white people are very unhappy and scared about all the non-whites.
And non-whites can be racist as well.

Economics is demographics and productivity; the rest is stamp collecting! However, demographics and mortgage rates are prime for housing. 2020-2024 will be different for many years because of #Demographics.

What is coming between now and 2035? Climate change: increasingly random and extreme weather, flooding, drought, famine, mass migration, pandemics, social upheaval, institutional collapse, automation, economic collapse, tribalism, authoritarianism, war, and general chaos.
Global warming will continue. Human population continues to increase. War drives a need for "energy independence". Entangled corporations, states, and individuals with direct economic interest in extraction and consumption of fossil fuels will continue to fight for their use.
And there are already feedback loops in play: the warming oceans, the melting ice caps, the thawing permafrost which is releasing trapped methane and CO2, the deforestation both man made and from increased forest fires.

Since 2013, the total fertility rate (TFR) is decreasing in Azerbaijan.
The decline in the TFR goes is primarily due to the continued trend of decline in higher-order births and the transition from a model of large families to a family with fewer children. #demographics

If current trends will continue, Azerbaijan would face insufficient number of fertile-age women able to maintain stable birth rate and this would have a negative impact on the sustainability of the countryās demographic development.
Given that the average age of marriage is 28 years for men and 24 years for women, Azerbaijan may face a shortage of brides in the near future.
At the moment, with young-age mortality decreasing, the gender imbalance between men and women persists for longer periods.

Demographics are about the balance between young and old. Young folks do the work and raise the kids. They are the consumers.

China had scads in that group in the 2000s. When Americans look at this they see waves of cheap workers stealing global jobs. When the politburo looks they see waves of consumption overturning global norms. Both were right. Were. Past tense.

20 years later not only is everyone 20 years older, but the Chinese had very few kids during the intervening 20 years. China's labor costs are now skyrocketing, and in productivity-adjusted terms are well below American workers. & the Mao generation is moving into retirement.

In exactly one month, I'll be leaving Bertelsmann Stiftung and start a new challenge. But before I leave, I would like to (re-)share some of the highlights of my work over the last five years. So join me for a little time travel and lots of still relevant research!
When I joined @GED_Tweet in 2016, the #trade world seemed still ok: the WTO still had the Appellate Body, TTIP was a political priority, Brexit had not happened and Trump was still an unlikely presidential candidate. Lots was going to change...
One of my core projects was research on public opinion and #trade. Our first publication was triggered by the intensifying debate on TTIP in Germany - but went beyond that: bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/publicationā¦
