In the future, there will be a higher proportion of older people than younger people. Is it a positive or negative development?
I believe it is a negative development. In my opinion, a higher ratio of elder communities could cause a negative effect on
society
. I am going to state the drawbacks in this
essay.
Firstly
, the increase of older people
in society
could cause a lack of workforce. For example
, if the country is in an ageing society
, the community could lose energy and innovation. Thus
, the youngsters could lose interest in this
community and be more willing to move to a better place. If most youth people
are not live in this
nation anymore, it could cause a shortage of workforce as elderly individuals are unable to work.
Secondly
, since the younger people
are migrating to other regions, the government could face an economic problem. For instance
, in the ageing society
, the authority needs to use a substantial amount of budget to support the medical institutions and pensions for the ageing communities. Besides
, elderly individuals are impossible to make income as most of them are retired, which leads the government officials could not collect taxes from them. Thus
, the country is facing a trend that subsidizing money to people
but without any tax income. Therefore
, the economy of society
is not flowing.
In conclusion, the increase in the elder population in a country could result in a negative influence on the whole society
. Economic would not be flowing and moving and the government has to face financial loss. Thus
, the life quality of the population would accordingly
decrease which would affect the next
generation.Submitted by doud99697 on
