It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than that of young people in many countries in the future. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

With the availability of quality health care and advancement in the field of health sciences the life expectancy across the globe has been rising.

As a result

, it is estimated that in the coming times, the number of elderly will outnumber the count of young people by a huge margin. In my opinion,

this

trend shall bear positive fruits for mankind. Analysing the impact of rising population on the social and economic lifestyle will prove

this

. Rising population leads to increasing stress on mother nature from the homo-sapiens. Top 10 most polluted cities in the world are

also

one of the most populous cities in the world. It illustrates that a control on the human race shall translate into better ecological balance and harmony between nature and humankind.

Consequently

, the rate of global warming shall reduce and the exhaustion of greenhouse gases shall

also

come down drastically.

Therefore

, there will be less pollution and less abuse of flora and fauna, culminating into a much better habitat for the human race. Not only

this

, but it would

also

mean higher per capita income and higher availability of disposable income with the people as the number of juvenile dependents shall reduce drastically.

Hence

, there would be an ever flowing cash flow in the economy.

Although

, some people might argue that a relatively smaller young population might mean reduced scientific innovation less agile sports persons and soldiers, but all of

this

is a minor give away in front of the heaps of benefits that

this

trend will result in. To summarise, in my view, the increasing number of elderly will indubitably lead to a highly stable and rewarding social-ecological lifestyle of the human race. It shall truly be a bliss.
