At 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 disaddvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Many countries have a large

number

of youths compared to the aged citizens.

This

essay strongly agrees with the largest

number

of youth and their positive contribution to the economy.

However

, the oldsters’ contribution is

also

discussed to understand their involvements and cons. To initiate with, the contribution of the high

number

of young

people

will be influenced by the economy positively as it assists to the

growth

rate of per

capita

income

and

GDP

of a

country

.

As a result

, cheap manufacturing will be fueled.

On the other hand

, the medical cost of a

country

would be the least for the government due to the

number

of young

people

, who suffer few diseases compared to the aged

population

.

Consequently

, the per

capita

income

of a

country

and

GDP

growth

will be higher, which is the benefit enjoyed by a

country

where the youth

population

number

is high. In Bangladesh,

for instance

, over 70% of the

people

are young, which is influencing its economic forecast for the

next

15 years of

growth

in Gross Domestic Product (

GDP

) and per

capita

income

according to the source of the World Bank.

In contrast

, the

growth

of the older

population

helps toward service industries. Most of the countries in the developed world depend on service industries where the

growth

rate of per

capita

income

and

GDP

are low,

although

the per

capita

income

is high;

nevertheless

, the high medical cost of old aged

people

and pension are thorny issues for these countries governments as the average life expectancy of the

people

is a lot higher compared to these young economies. In the United Kingdom,

for example

, the average lifespan of the

people

is over 90 years;

therefore

, the governments’ pension and medical costs are a lot higher. To conclude, the high

number

of youth can be a blessing for the

country

, which are at the developing phase.

On the contrary

, the aged

population

consume more service from the government than they produce in my view.
