In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is argued that the government has to spend money to take

care

of old people, given that in Britain, senior citizens tend to live in a place with other people of the same age where nurses are present to take

care

of them.

This

essay disagrees with that statement because it is the responsibility of children and it

also

increases the burden on the country's

economy

. A good reason for the family to take

care

of their old people is that, it is their responsibility to pay for their parents.

That is

to say that parents sacrifice many things for their children and work hard to give a beautiful life for them and

therefore

everyone must look after their parents during their old age.

For instance

, the government of India recently passed an order to its citizens stating that it is a punishable

offense

a lack of politeness; a failure to show regard for others; wounding the feelings or others

offence

if the offspring do not take

care

of their parents. Another point to consider is that, it reduces stress on the nation's

economy

.

In other words

, if the family took

care

of their old people, the government could save a huge amount of money, which ultimately enhances the financial status of that nation. The apparent corollary of

this

is that, they can utilize

this

money and implement more welfare schemes for poor and needy.

For instance

, a recent article published in TimesNow newspaper, which is the largest circulated daily newspaper in India and

also

renowned for its accuracy and fairness, stated that India's

economy

was increased by 5% in the year 2020 after they implemented a rule that offspring should look after their parent’s expenses. In conclusion, the family should bear the expenses of their old

age

Suggestion

aging

parents because it is their duty and it

also

mitigates the burden on the nation's

economy
