In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing. What problems will this cause for individuals and society? Suggest some measures that could be taken to reduce the impact of aging populations.
Nowadays, more people expect to live more than ever before. In many countries around the world,
life
expectancy would go higher. This
essay will discuss the main causes of the increased allotted span, including an increase
in the number of retired people who will receive a pension, a small working population, a tax
burden on working adults, and will also
suggest solutions to these problems including increased retirement age
and encourage immigration.
As people live longer, the populations of several developed countries grow older, several related issues can be anticipated. Firstly
, as life
span increases, there is undoubtedly rising in the retired people who will increasingly be receiving a pension because they will have to fulfill
their basic amenities of put in effect
fulfil
life
. Secondly
, there will be a smaller proportion of young adults who will have to look after elderly relatives. For example
, a survey shows that the rise in life
’s duration is directly related to the smaller working population. Furthermore
, adults would have to bear tax
burden therefore
they would not be economically so strong. So, the unusual increase
in the life
cycle will ultimately cause many unavoidable issues.
Although
there are so many effective solutions to these problems which will be implemented by the governments. The government should increase
the retirement age
so that individuals can be able to take care of themselves. On the other hand
, governmental authorities should also
encourage immigration to increase
the number of young people who pay taxes. For instance
, if foreign people tend to move into other countries, then
the tax
rate would be balanced to a great extent. Also
, longevity would never be going to affect anyone anymore.
In conclusion, increasing old age
is an uncontrolled factor, so we need to tackle this
issue efficiently. This
essay discussed that the rise in life
span leads us to the rise in people who will receive a pension, a small proportion of the working population, and tax
problems for working adults. This
essay also
suggested that the solutions to these problems are twofold, to promote immigration, and increase
the retirement age
