Abstract

The aim of this study is the future of economic lifestyle of families in Iran. Due to the economic turmoil of the last few years, this issue has been considered. After reviewing the economic lifestyle of families in Iran and reviewing the research background, 14 experts were interviewed. Theoretical saturation method was used as a standard for end sampling. Among the findings, 26 factors were identified as the most important factors in realizing the lifestyle of families. The mentioned factors were structurally analyzed using Micmac software. Influencing and influencing factors were identified and ranked directly and indirectly, and the most important ones were presented as the main drivers. In the research findings, among the main drivers, ten two-way variables were identified as the key drivers that had the least impact and the most impact on family lifestyles. Then, the two-dimensional variables were entered into the Wizard scenario software and two favorable scenarios and one unfavorable scenario were obtained.
