At the present time, the population of some countries includes a relatively large no. of young adults compared with the no. of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, the population of certain countries contains a bigger proportion of adolescents compared to the older people. Despite there are many advantages to
this
situation, there are
also
many disadvantages.
Firstly
, the biggest advantage that comes to my mind is the change of generations.
For example
,
this
can bring promising rise in population as well as a modernised way of getting work done. There is always something positive about innovations and having a large number of youngsters can provide exactly
this
. The change of generations can
also
lead to changing bad old habits.
This
had to happen many times throughout history so we could be where we are today. Thereby, there is no room for fear.
On the other hand
, the disadvantages can mean less previous experience from which people can learn. It has always been easier to learn from someone else's mistakes rather than having to feel it on one's own skin.
Furthermore
, not having someone with the knowledge around you can make the things much harder to figure.
Although
, I believe that
this
can lead to finding easier and better ways at the end. In my opinion, advantages overweight the disadvantages. The world needs the new ideas. As well as it is helpful to have someone to learn from, youngsters can figure the things on their own and bring innovations in many different fields. People should not think about
this
too much and
moreover
make it too complicated. Rather, we should find something positive about it and look how it can benefit ourselves.

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.
