one of major issues facing world today is over population. What problem arise from this situation? What measures can be taken to deal with it?

As we master our sciences and as technological advancements contribute to a global increase in humans' life spans, humanity faces its newest challenge which is overpopulation. While a decline in death rates in the young might seem positive at a glance, one must not forget its subsequent drawbacks like the increase in the prevalence of old-

age

illnesses and the financial exhaustion of a nation.

However

, it remains important to innovate solutions for

this

problem. The promotion of wellbeing from a young

age

is a possible solution to minimize the possibility of getting ill later in life.

First

and foremost, the older the human body gets, the more

health

issues it faces.

Subsequently

, when a certain nation has the majority of its citizens over the retirement

age

, it has to allocate a larger budget to their care.

In contrast

to other countries whose residents are quite young in

age

and are physically able to contribute to its workforce and economically develop it.

For instance

, a recent study published by Harvard Business Review showed that the younger the average as of a country is, the more likely it is to prosper. To put it

in other words

, having a large geriatric population is not beneficial for its economy. To eliminate

this

issue, it is of vital importance to achieving early life

health

promotion through introducing public

health

awareness campaigns that target prevention, rather than treatment, of non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular attacks, and hypertension that are major contributors to sickness as the person gets older. To give an example, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School in Maryland is currently conducting research on

this

matter and the results illustrated that

such

a move could positively impact the global economy by minimizing the amount of money dedicated to treating their clinical complications. To conclude,

although

it is an advantage that civilians are living past their 80s and 90s,

such

a shift has its disadvantages.

Therefore

, it becomes our collective responsibility to closely study the drawbacks and pave the way for their emerging solutions. Take

health

as an example, if we were to decrease the possibility for many individuals to develop the most common illnesses,

then

we would be able to cut down the costs of old

age
