It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than that of young people in many countries in the future. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

The old age
people
 are increasing in number drastically around the globe. It is assumed that the ratio of older
people
 will be high in the coming future rather than youth in numerous nations.
However
, it is a destructive trend.
To begin
 with, the main cause of
this
 is the increase in self-care. In recent times, after the world got affected by pandemics,
people
 started to take more care of themselves than past.
This
 resulted in an increase in life expectancy.
For Instance
,
people
 started to eat healthy foods as many have completely stopped eating meat due to the fear of fat content, because of
this
 the life expectancy has increased exponentially.
Thus
, the middle-aged generation is going to be older in near future and their lives are going to be extended than the present regular man lives.
On the other hand
,
this
 is going to be a burden on the
government
. Many countries are facing financial problems with different issues, while these older
people
 will add more stress to the
government
. The
government
 need to accommodate a large amount of their treasury money to the adult
health
 schemes.
Besides
, hospitals and their staff need to be paid a high number of salaries because of the burden and stress they are going to face due to the
health
 issues of elderly
people
.
Furthermore
, many elder
people
 need to be given pensions as they cannot earn their own money because of their age and
health
 conditions.
As a result
,
this
 is going stretch the
government

Add the comma(s)

 more, to pay them the taxpayers money
instead
 of using them on countries development. In conclusion, adult
people
 life expectancy increased would be a negative development as there are financial and
health
 sector problems to be faced by the
government
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
