In many countries, the proportion of older people is steadily increasing. This phenomenon is called the demographic time bomb. What do you think about this trend? What measures should be taken in order to tackle this problem?

The average age of the population is increasing, albeit slowly, in many developed countries.

This

is a matter of grave concern as it increases the tax burden on the government and restricts the population to

only in specific professions.

This

Linking Words

can be tackled through an efficient immigration policy that focuses on attracting young, outland working

professionals

and by inviting

students

from a foreign land to pursue higher studies in the country.

To begin

with, when society has more middle-aged people, the government has to incur their health expenses.

In addition

to that, there are several professions in which

this

section of the population cannot participate. With increasing age, the medical expenses shoot up proportionately and

as a result

Linking Words

, higher taxes need to be collected by the authorities to aid them in managing their finances post-retirement.

Moreover

Linking Words

, middle-aged people cannot be placed in certain jobs that require physical exertion. To illustrate, in Canada, people in their fifties are unable to take up

in the manufacturing sector.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, their finance minister is forced to frame economic policies that can collect enough taxes from others in order to take care of their post-retirement years. So, I think that the tax burden and the restriction in career choices make the demographic time bomb a negative trend. One possible way out of

this

Linking Words

predicament is to attract foreign

students

to pursue higher education in the country.

Secondly

Linking Words

, the immigration policy should focus on attracting young working

professionals

Use synonyms

from other countries. When young adults migrate for their tertiary education, most of the time they contribute to the country’s economy by becoming working

professionals

post their studies.

In addition

to that, the immigration policy can provide free healthcare facilities to foreigners who are in their twenties in order to lure them to

work

there.

For instance

Linking Words

, Canada awards extra points to aspiring immigrants who are either

students

or in their late twenties to fulfil certain job requirements.

Thus

Linking Words

, attracting a young working force and luring

students

from a foreign land can resolve the issue of the demographic time bomb. To conclude, a number of developed economies have an ageing workforce. I believe

this

Linking Words

is a negative trend as it restricts them to

work

only in less physically demanding professions, and it

further

Linking Words

leads to an increased tax burden on the taxpayers.

Nevertheless

Linking Words

, a strong tertiary education structure attracting foreigners along with certain incentives provided to the outland, young , working

can help resolve

crisis.
