At present time, the population of some countries includes a relatively large number of young adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?
As the birth rates in some of the countries grow rapidly in recent years, there are relatively more young adults compared to the number of older people.
However
, advantages, as well as drawbacks of the phenomenon, affect the development of these countries in different aspects. In my opinion, the advantages outweigh the drawbacks as a whole. Linking Words
This
essay will outline some of the pros and cons and point out the reason why advantages can outweigh the disadvantages.
Linking Words
To begin
with, higher populations within the young generations could flourish the countries both technologically and economically. Linking Words
Firstly
, technology is advanced as more young adults favour the advancement of technologies. Linking Words
For example
, Tiktok, a trending app Linking Words
that is
established in recent years, has been used by most teenagers and young adults nowadays. Linking Words
This
app becomes very famous mainly because it is shared by the social circles of teenagers. Linking Words
Therefore
, more countries are interested to invest in the country who established the app. Linking Words
Secondly
, more young adults refer to the number of elites in these countries increases. As there are more young essences, the economy is more likely to be boomed in a country.
In terms of the drawbacks of the phenomenon, the economy may be slightly affected and cultures and traditions can be destroyed in these countries. As more young adults seek a job, there are fewer job opportunities since only elites are selected and get hired in companies. Linking Words
Hence
, the unemployment and poverty rates are on a rise in the countries. Linking Words
On the other hand
, the cultures and traditions are lost if they cannot be inherited to the young generations. Linking Words
For instance
, some of the countries in the world have lost their unique traditions because of the evolution of technologies, and Linking Words
thus
they have Linking Words
also
lost their national values.
In conclusion, the increased population of young adults has brought technological benefits to these countries. Linking Words
Although
their cultures and traditions may be destroyed, development in technology influences the countries more effectively. Linking Words
As a result

this
phenomenon.Linking Words
