At the present time, the population of some countries includes a relatively large number of young adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?

With the ever-growing

population

of the world, it is quite common to observe certain countries with a relatively large number of young adults, compared to the older

population

. In

this

essay, I plan to explain and underline the advantages associated with

such

a generation-ratio situation and how they, quite successfully, outweigh the disadvantages. We observe a large number of young adults in countries

such

as India, Canada, and Singapore. One plausible reason for a younger to older

population

ratio mismatch, apart from the fact that the world observed a

population

boom in countries like India in the '70s and '80s, could be rooted in the fact that as compared to the present-day nuclear families, the families of the previous decade saw parents raising at least two to three children.

population, which

I strongly believe is key to reorienting the

country

's goals for the

next

15-20 years. In my experience, I have often observed that there is a distinct generation gap between people of the older and the younger generations which contributes to diverging opinions and ideologies. In my

country

, India, it is not uncommon to state that the ideologies of life and the responsibilities of the

youth

are a common topic of debate among older people. These eventually lead to ego clashes and

hence

, to a bifurcation of the school of thought which pushes people to take stands on sensitive issues. In the recent past, we s

have seen

the immediate removal of article 377 which disapproved of people of the LGBTQ+ community.

This

topic was extensively debated and it is not a gross generalization to state that the legalization of the freedom to possess a unique sexual identity was looked down upon by the older generation, it was only because of the new-wave paradigm shifts in the school of thought among the

youth

that the judgment on the issue could see the light of day.

This

is a prime example of the

youth

probing for common ground and reorienting the

country

from certain social stigmas to a brighter and more liberal

future

. The

play an important role in shaping the spirit that would eventually go on to encourage the

population

to pave a new path that the

would follow into the

this

path could be novel advancements in science

as the

quantum revolution we are observing in countries like Canada or a pathway into a more peaceful and non-violent

future

which we are observing in Ethiopia, where the young prime minister, Abiy Ahmed was awarded the Nobel peace prize for dampening the border tensions with the neighbouring

country

Eritrea and probing for solutions to a violence-free

history has shown us that we are to make the most of it. When used correctly, the

youth

of today could bring about another Renaissance, or another industrial revolution, or even another golden age. In conclusion and in light of the above mentioned, I believe that a
