At the 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 its disadvantages?
The proportion of elderly
people
in some countries, like Japan, is considerably higher while in some other regions, including some Asian and Western countries, young people
comprise the highest percentage of the total population. Having a larger proportion of youth is considered to have more advantages for a country
, and I think that a country
should have more active youths for faster development.
To begin
with, the young generation
is dynamic, energetic, and can contribute to the job sector
which has a huge positive impact on the economic development of the country
. They come with fresh ideas and are free from old superstitions and traditional beliefs. It gives them a competitive advantage. The educated young generation
is the best resource a country
can have, and their contribution to the country
is significantly higher than the participation of children and elder people
. The contribution of the older people
, however
, could not be denied and they have already done their part for reforming the country
. They have vast experience and wisdom that are vital for decision making. They are often considered a better fit for the decision-making positions.
Moreover
, children are the future of a country
, and the elderly have already played their roles. On the contrary
, the young generation
is the active workforce and can lead to the overall growth of the country
. They are active citizens in society while children and senior peoples are dependent on others. The young generation
can learn things faster and can share ideas, and this
is why they are better leaders. The ICT sector
, for instance
, is full of fresh minds and is globally led by young minds. The ICT sector
is considered to be the most prominent sector
for the development of a country
, especially in this
technological era, and it highlights the importance of young and fresh minds over elder people
in a country
.
To conclude, older people
should not be considered a burden for the country
, however
, the young have more to contribute to society and the country
as a whole. This
is why it is more beneficial for a country
to have an active workforce than dependent senior citizens.Submitted by rajjakjamil75 on
