Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people suggest that people over the age of sixty-five can contribute to live full and active live. In what ways can society benefit from the contribution that older people can make?

Advancement in healthcare, coupled with better lifestyles has ensured longer life spans for our

seniors

.

As a result

, people aged over sixty-five,

instead

of sitting idle at home, are interested to be engaged and

society

must take initiative in providing opportunities for them.

To begin

with, a proportion of the people belonging to

this

age group will have experience working in the fields of science, technology and healthcare. Their expertise will help future generations to evolve from where they stopped.

Moreover

, they can work as consultants and provide their suggestions to fix complex issues that are faced, even in the contemporary world.

For example

, solutions provided by many veteran doctors, during the COVID pandemic, helped in defining the roadmap and limiting the spread of the virus.

Hence

, knowledge transition from

this

generation to

society

will prove beneficial.

Additionally

, there are

seniors

who performed nonspecialist activities. Communities can plan to utilise them in jobs that do not require too much stress. Occupations

such

as babysitting would be ideal, and

this

kind of job is something that they will enjoy at

this

age. As a consequence, parents of these kids can travel to their workplace free of any worries and contribute to

society

.

Furthermore

, after retirement people tend to become lazy as there is a deviation from their normal routine.

This

would result in a plethora of health and mental issues. Eventually, they become a burden to

society

.

For instance

, after exiting from jobs, brain activities get reduced and

this

can lead to memory-related diseases,

such

as dementia and Alzheimers.

Therefore

, keeping the

seniors

entertained will reduce the number of hospital cases. To conclude,

seniors

in the community should not be ignored, and

society

should set a platform for them to contribute.

This

will not only boost the economy but

also

provide a healthy and peaceful life for

seniors

.
