Because of falling birth rates and better healthcare, the world’s population is getting steadily older and this trend is going to cause serious problems for society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

an ageing

population

due to a

decline

in birth rate and the development in healthcare services can have detrimental effects on

society

.I partially agree with the above notion and the reasons for my partial disagreement are discussed in the following paragraphs. On one hand, there can be a negative consequence of the world's

population

growing older with the

decline

in the number of newborns.

Firstly

, a job market can be brutally impacted where employers in the

society

suffer from the scarcity of young candidates filled with enthusiasm.

This

is because of a birthrate reduction across the globe, which ensures a drastic

decline

of young and adults fit for employment in the near future whereas improved healthcare lengthens the life span of older people who do not fit for many jobs modern-day jobs.

For instance

, Canada has experienced a significant birthdate drop in the

last

decade where 68% of the

population

was above 60.

This

situation influenced the Canadian job market.

On the other hand

, a ratio of a high number of old age and less number of birth can

also

benefit

society

. With the

decline

in newborns,

society

has become more peaceful and crime-free all across the globe.

This

is because older people are less likely to attempt crime whereas 95% of criminals across the world are youngsters and adults.

Therefore

, a slow ageing

population

with fewer birthrate ensures a secure

society

with a significant

decline

in offensive activities. Conclusively,

although

static ageing of the world's

population

may not be able to fulfil a demand of job market seeking for young ones, a

society

certainly becomes more livable by their existence
