In many countries around the world, life expectancy is increasing. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this situation and give your own opinion.

These days, life expectancy is one of the important factors in many developed
countries
. There are pros and cons in deciding on an average period that a person may expect to live, though I believe the rise of expectance in living may lead to the extinction of humans. One of the clearest advantages here is country improvements. Most of the

to expand the economy. So if life expectancy grows sharply, in terms of economy we will be victorious.
However
, nowadays there are serious disadvantages that many people are suffering from them which can be linked to the

population
, inhabitants of the earth need more and more food. So we have to provide more food sources for them and due to not having enough lands for farming and a useful transportation system many people in distinct

are suffering from food shortage which leads to a considerable reduction in their
population
. To conclude,
although
a rise in a LE can have a certain negative impact on the
