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

Population explosion is a problem that many nations face. In order to curb

this

problem, many governments have imposed rules and regulations

such

as the number of children families can have.

As a result

, it is forecasted that in these nations the number of older folks will outnumber the young generation in the coming years. Personally, in my opinion, it is a threat to the economy of a country because young folks are the future and backbone of it. The foremost reason for believing that population disproportion is a negative trend is that governments often impose strict laws on their citizens, and if not followed they are punished.

For example

, the China government asked couples to have only one child and if they disobey

this

rule they will not be provided with basic facilities like medical and education.

Therefore

, Many researchers published that China is becoming a nation of older people.

Moreover

, elders are a burden because of their incapabilities to contribute.

For instance

, states spend a lot of resources on their retirees' pensions and Japan is already spending more than 60% of its wealth in

this

regard which

thus

puts pressure on the younger generation to pay more taxes.

Additionally

, young individuals are the future and backbone of a nation. They bring innovation to the country.

For example

, most of the startups are being run by the young community in India which not only help to build a strong economy but

also

give employment opportunities to others.

Consequently

, the state does not need to spend money to bring workforce from other regions or countries.

Furthermore

, the life expectancy rate is degrading despite the availability of the best medical facilities. To illustrate, in the recent pandemic, a billion people have been killed without any medical care. In conclusion, I am inclined to support that putting restrictions to limit the young generation is a negative trend as it will put more pressure on the government to spend more money to provide basic amenities to seniors rather than spending it on building infrastructure.

Besides

, juniors build the economy of a nation. Having said that, individuals rather should be educated about having a minimum number of children.
