At the present time the population of some countries includes a relatively large number of young adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays the proportion of young

people

increases rapidly becoming the majority of the

world

's population, whilst the number of old population experiences a decrease. There are both pros and cons to

this

current situation. In

this

essay, I am going to examine how the domination of the youth is beneficial to the

world

and in which way the drop in the number of old

people

is disadvantageous. First of all, young

people

are the moving strength of the development of the

world

since they are very quick-witted and not afraid of new things. What is more, youngsters seem to be born with knowledge about high-tech technologies which makes them a skilled labour force in the modern

world

.

Furthermore

, it is much easier for the youth to make breakthroughs in science or any other field as they can base on the already existing technologies. Another advantage is that there is no stagnation in the growth of the population, which, in turn, will not lead to a lack of labour force.

Nevertheless

, older

people

are much more experienced than younger ones in everything as they have seen a lot of things throughout their lives.

According to

this

, most of the elders are skilled workers as they have devoted a great part of their lifetime to some job.

For example

, a person would definitely prefer to go to a doctor of middle age than to a postgraduate, as an older physician has solved lots of cases during his/her career.

To sum up

, the situation when the portion of younger

people

is bigger than the portion of older citizens can be advantageous because youngsters can push the development of the

world

.

However

, there are

also

drawbacks as elders are more skilled and experienced. In any case, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
