Write about the following topic: 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 the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is well known that some countries have a

population

with more young

people

than old

people

. Even

this

fact could have both advantages and disadvantages, In my ,opinion the positive implications of having a youthful

population

over-weigh the negative ones.

This

essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages giving examples to support both points of view. On one hand, having more younger

people

could lead to a lack of professionals in society. The older

population

may be more educated than the young one,

this

is being why they have had more time to study a professional career during their lives.

For example

, to become a specialist physician it is needed at least 10 years of university studies and

this

may not be able for a young adult yet.

In addition

, the younger

population

have less life experience than the old

population

.

People

after their 50’s may have been through a lot in life and they may be more prepared to solve any day-life problem than younger

people

.

This

could help to form a less stressful society.

Lastly

, younger populations are likely to have a higher rate of crime,

this

could be because young

people

have more energy to commit crime than old

people

. A study from the University of Chile showed that in the south of Chile, where the

population

is mostly young, the rate of robs and crimes

were

twice higher than in the north where most of the

population

were in their 50’s and older.

On the other hand

, youthful populations are in general more active and happier.

This

may be because they have less old age-associated illness leading them to work more and maintain them-self more active. Adding to the fact that healthy

people

can work more efficiently, with

this

they can contribute to the economy of the country, making money

instead

of spending.

For instance

, it is a fact that old societies spend a lot of money on health for their old citizens. Another positive aspect of having young adult populations is that there are more chances of having outstanding sports professionals. Young

people

have more time and more energy than old

people

to practice and become excellent sport professionals. In ,soccer most of the players retire from their soccer career when they turn thirty years old. With old

people

there would be no time to start a sports career. And

last

but not least, young societies are more likely to have outdoor activities for the community.

This

could be because they are more proactive in organizing those activities and

also

more likely to participate in them. Old

may be too tired to go out. To conclude with the arguments given above, I firmly believe that the advantages of the youthful

population

over-weigh the disadvantages. Even though, there are some positive aspects of having an older

population

that we should consider.
