How about this:

- you are working

- you have a family

- you have access to a forest

Whether or not more and more people will be unemployed or not due to advances in technology and shifts in society is probably up to debate. I personally think that we'll see more unemployment with uneducated folks. And even if they work it will be paid badly, unstable due to being easily replaceable and rather stressful and dull.

Same for having a family. Finding a spouse will be difficult for the disposable and getting children risky. So, also not an option for many.

And access to a forest - as in a place with nature where you can walk for half an hour without meeting anyone. Good luck with that living in the middle of some ghetto without public or individual transportation options.

Those products will be the new Opium for the People. The new couch with chips in front of the TV. A sedation and escapism.
