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

It is opined that

people

are living longer than before in developed nations and thought it might lead to problems for

society

and

individuals

. The median quality of life in many developed countries continues to increase these days.

However

, there are myriad negative implications

this

event will have on

individuals

and

society

.

Firstly

, many

individuals

will have to deal with physically weak

people

who may slow down the pace of their activities.

For example

, those households with aged

people

will have to factor their aged person into their daily activities plan, like when they can go out or when they can sleep because the aged person needs constant monitoring and care.

Therefore

, the longer the aged person lives, the longer the travails of their family carers. In terms of

society

, aged

people

have less to contribute to productivity due to their lack of strength to participate in the workforce. In order words, they only belong to the consuming groups in

society

.

For example

, they belong to customers that visit shops to buy food ingredients and other daily consumables but lack the capacity to work for these food ingredients either on a farm or through a sales outlet.

Nevertheless

, there are various solutions to the negative impacts of the ageing population on

society

and

individuals

. The primary solution is that the government should fund establishing aged care homes so that these set of

people

could be moved into care homes, where professional carers would be employed to look after them.

Secondly

, those aged

people

who still have some strengths should be employed in work positions with light activities.

For example

, Rose is a food shop worker and only works three days per week at self-checkout due to her old age. In

this

instance, Rose has become productive for

society

. In conclusion, though aged

people

can be a challenge for

individuals

and

society

, they can still be managed in a way that will add value to

society

.
