In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing. What problems will this cause for individuals and society? Suggest some measures that could be taken to reduce the impact of aging populations.

Thanks to the development of contemporary society, average life has been prolonged. Some assert that there are potential issues due to a lot of pensions for seniors.

However

, there are possible solutions to address them. On the one hand,

youngsters

might feel an excessive

burden

because they have to pay taxes to support old

people

. As seniors are being paid by governments from

retirement

, and they live longer than in the past, young adults should handle pensions for a longer time.

For example

, a survey conducted by the Korea Young Adults Support Foundation has revealed that each young adult pays taxes for almost 3.3% of the number of elders. As the example clearly illustrates, many

youngsters

suffer from a

burden

of taxes that are used for old

people

,

However

, governments can reset the

retirement

age. Since seniors sustain their life healthier and longer because of development in the modern era, they can work

further

and longer. Not only can extended working-age bring about vibrant and active lives among old

people

, but it may

also

lead to reducing a strain on

youngsters

. Recent media reports in Korea would seem to suggest that if governments extend the

retirement

age to 70 years old, almost one-

third

of the strain would be decreased. In conclusion, while I accept that development in the current society helps

people

live longer, I would point out that it causes an enormous

burden

on

youngsters

due to pension for old

people

. Prolonging

retirement

age can be a key factor to decrease the problem of a high

burden

of tax for

youngsters

.
