Band 7

The aging population is good for business, the economy and society. Others disagree. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

#population #business #economy #society
According to some
people
, including me, older adults are proving an asset to the country’s economic growth, societal upliftment and running a successful business owing to their dedication, skills and
experience
 while some still believe that having them affects the productivity levels at work. Since the ageing adults prefer to work till they die,
this
 keeps them active and healthy, and
hence
, puts less burden on the government to support their health. According to a recent study, the Australian government’s investment in the medical sector for elderly
people
 is 2% less than what is required for other age groups.
Moreover
, elderly
people
’s lifelong
experience
 is bliss for the younger generation which helps them in dealing with complex problems in a more sophisticated way by keeping patience and being dedicated to the task.
However
, due to the age factor, it is not possible for elderly
people
 to work continuously without taking a break after every one or two hours, which in turn, affects the productivity levels forcing the organisation to hire more
people
 to fill the void.
Furthermore
, though they have years of
experience
, it is usually out of date and is of little use to the current generation who need to learn how to employ modern technologies
such
 as computers and lasers. In conclusion,
although
 the elderly population’s
experience
 is of little use and age is a hindrance to the path of productivity limits, I believe that older individuals are healthier than their counterparts in generations past which keeps them dedicated and engaged for as long as possible.
