In the future, there will be a higher proportion of older people than younger people in many countries. Why is this? Is this a positive or negative development?

#future #proportion #people #countries #development
Most countries will face a higher amount of older generations in the future. In my view, I believe that a negative
trend
 and impact development on these countries.
To begin
 with, the elderly
people
 increasing in the upward
trend
 will bring several treats on the younger generations.
Therefore
, competition for employment in the society between older and younger are much more severe, due to the long service of older
people
 in that firm to consequence a loose job opportunity for their
next
 generation, and cause an imbalance in the ratio of older and younger in the workplace. In another word, young
people
 will unemployed. If the population of elderly is rising, the companies don’t have trainers anymore due to expertise of old employee are much better than fresher.
As a result
, society might towards a worse
trend
 ever. On the one hand, the
government
 might have a huge responsibility on the older
people
. As we know, after retirement for an older person must have some welfares from the
government
 given as long as the end of their life.
However
, the burden of the
government
 is heavy to contribute the extra investment on healthcare, personal welfares, and other profits if the number of them is out of expectations for the
government
, it is causing a higher maintaining of retirement generation for their lifestyles. Similar to the family’s side, family members need double care about their lifestyle on the elderly
people
 who have health or other problem. The stress of other members will obviously show.
For example
, a single parent's family was needed to take care of the older
people
 which under a poverty and harsh condition. It was an overload on a small capability family.
Therefore
, the social issues will become serious and more cases will appear in the end. In conclusion, the worse
trend
 on the older
people
 is increasing towards the future, it might generate a bad influence on the society, the
government
, and the family as well.
