With the improvements in today’s health care, society has to care for more and more elderly people. Do you feel that society will be able to cope with the increase in numbers of elderly people today and how can it be managed? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience

The advancements in medical science are a boon for a human life in multifarious ways.

Although

,

this

growth in the healthcare system has helped mankind to overcome some deadly epidemics,

however

,

this

has

also

resulted in an increase in the average life span of a person in many developed nations,

further

resulting in the

society

to take charge of its elderly population as a key responsibility. I perceive that

this

vogue is gradually becoming a reason of distress for many nations and the

society

is getting stressed with

this

responsibility as

this

is inevitable, still,

this

issue needs to be managed in a collaborative manner by the government and its younger working population. In

this

essay, we will discuss

this

in detail and will draw an inference. If the elderly population will surpass the number of working people,

then

the stress is certain to come to its government. To illustrate, in developed countries like Japan, Canada and many more the vast growth in the older generation as compared to its younger one has resulted in humungous pressure on their government to invest a major portion of its income to take care of

this

civilization,

moreover

, the children taking care of their elderly parents have

also

resulted in decline of birth rate in these countries because of work life imbalance. A study by Harvard university states that a significant growth of 60% in older association and 50% decline in birth rate has been noticed in developed countries, resulting in scarcity of workers required at jobs in these countries. Having said that, it is evident that the

society

will not be able to cope up with

this

increase gradually because

this

will result in a collapse of the working force in these nations. Do we see our elders as a threat to our

society

? Certainly not, rather these are the blessings that we have, despite, we need to find a solution to the asymmetry

that is

prevailing in these developed civilizations.

For example

, even though, the birth rate has declined, yet, the unions are working harder to resolve

this

by inviting immigrants from other nations that could match their gap,

furthermore

, they are offering permanent residencies and citizenships to their immigrants to solve the grievance permanently. I feel that

this

initiative is able to solve

such

issues effectively.

Nonetheless

,

this

gives opportunity to the global workforce to become their part, which

otherwise

probably were not satisfied with their jobs. To recapitulate, having mulled over above information and deliberating all the facts, it can be deducted that, albeit, the inflation of older people is becoming a stress for nations, yet, these nations have come up with a great management skill by inviting people from other countries to become their part. I believe that

this

is true globalization, where people respect people and the opportunities are extended globally to generate a healthy workforce, without disturbing the elderly blessings. The medical science will continue to be a boon.
