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 Linking Words
such
as the number of children families can have. Linking Words
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. Linking Words
For example
, the China government asked couples to have only one child and if they disobey Linking Words
this
rule they will not be provided with basic facilities like medical and education. Linking Words
Therefore
, Many researchers published that China is becoming a nation of older people. Linking Words
Moreover
, elders are a burden because of their incapabilities to contribute. Linking Words
For instance
, states spend a lot of resources on their retirees' pensions and Japan is already spending more than 60% of its wealth in Linking Words
this
regard which Linking Words
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. Linking Words
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 Linking Words
also
give employment opportunities to others. Linking Words
Consequently
, the state does not need to spend money to bring workforce from other regions or countries. Linking Words
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. Linking Words
Besides
, juniors build the economy of a nation. Having said that, individuals rather should be educated about having a minimum number of children.Linking Words
