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 it is a positive or negative development?

It is true that the

population

of the elderly will overcome the youth

population

in some years from now in different parts of the world. I completely believe that

this

trend is detrimental to societies. It is undeniable that when the

number

of old people is increasing, nations are being faced with a

great

greater

decline in their

population

growth, which means a large

number

of people are unable to undertake

great

responsibilities in their

In other words

, if the

, governments are prone to the scarcity of enough individuals working in the industrial projects because most of the old have been retired.

That is

why these nations are compelled to provide their essential workforce from overseas where people have different cultures and languages, so they should

invest money in training migrants so that they can adapt to living circumstances of their societies. What is more, the countries in which

ones, they are more likely to be exposed to financial crises,

such

as economic recession, and rising inflation, since governments should pay

to the old citizens as well as provide health care facilities for them, while the

number

of youth who ought to pay taxes to supply the cost of living for the elderly is not sufficient. Others,

however

, would argue that decreasing the youth

population

can have positive impacts on communities.

This

group believes that

this

development can help governments to reduce their national budgets for building new accommodations, preventing the destruction of the environment from invading humans to expend cities.

As a result

, those nations can allocate their budgets to other important sectors, including health and education. I,

nevertheless

, think that rising the

number

of

old

older

citizens compared with young ones means lack of skilled and fresh workforce to handle the economic problems of a nation, so

although

this

progress can bring environmental benefits, it can cause irreparable damage to countries in the long run. In conclusion, it seems to me that

the old

of countries can lead to several drawbacks not only from economic issues but

also

from social ones.
