Aged population is rising rapidly in many countries.
Although
 a section of society advocates that older people are important for the development of the country, I,
however
, hold the view that it creates several issues in their countries. On the one hand, proponents of former view consider that retired persons are assets to their homelands. The reason could be that they are an ultimate source of knowledge because of their vast life experience. They can provide valuable suggestions in critical decision making, leading to savings of time and money.
For instance
, if they are not working and earning, can voluntarily guide young learners as their teachers in selecting courses.
This

On the other hand
, I side with those who argue that rise in n
umber
Suggestion
the number
of older people causes burden on s
tate exchequer.
Suggestion
the state exchequer
 The reason behind
that is

age

age
 pension, health insurance, and old
age
 shelter for their retired population which in return providing nothing to s
tate.
Suggestion
the state
 Another significant cause is that shortage of young manpower for industries due to rise in old
age
 people, leading to decline in industrial output. Governments have to import various utilities to f

put in effect
fulfil
their requirements, making loss of foreign currency deposits.
Therefore
, aging population leads to weakening the economic conditions of many nations. In conclusion,
although
 retired people can provide guidance,
however
, governments have to spend a lot on providing many amenities to them which leads to economic crisis.
Therefore
, I maintain that it puts pressure on the financial condition of the nation.
