At the present time, the population of some countries include a relatively large number of young adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?

#time #population #countries #adults #people #situation
Nowadays, in some part of the world, the
population
 of youngsters outnumbers the old adults' ones. In my perspective, the benefits of
this
 trend outweigh its drawbacks.
This
 essay will explore my idea in more details. Needless to say that having an older
population
 in a country is beneficial in terms of using their experience and guidance for the younger generation.
In other words
, we need older
people
 to help and support the younger generation. For ,instance in some part of the words, grandparents take care of their grandchildren when their parents are at work or school.
This
 will help them to be more focused on doing their jobs and can save some money too.
On the other hand
, older
people
 are in need of more health care and medication compared to the young
population
.
Thus
,
this
 can put the government into lots of financial burdens and
this
 money would have to come out of young
people
's pocket. One of the most important benefits of having younger adults in some
countries
 lies in the fact that the economy will flourish
as a result
 of having a fresh workforce.
For example
, Nigeria, where over 50 per cent of its
population
 is under 25, has the highest workforce and is one of the major
countries
 which is becoming a centre of industrial productions.
Besides
, having young
population
also
 help with the reduction in a number of nursing homes and hospital which again can reduce the amount of taxes per capita.
Therefore
, the government can spend less and invest more in the workforce in those young populated
countries
. To sum up, it seems to me that the advantages of having a new generation of
people
 outweigh its disadvantages in many ways mostly by decreasing financial pressure on governments and giving those
countries
 the opportunities of becoming centres for industrial progression.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
