are now living longer than before in many countries. Some

say there are benefits if society has more older

. Other
people

think an ageing

creates problems for governments. I think the former viewpoint far outweighs the latter. On the one hand, the ageing
population

may create an excessive budget in the

sector. Take Indonesia,
for example

, which has a
health

insurance program for citizens. The more ages

have, the more

budget government spends.
As a result
Linking Words
, some sectors,
such

as education and infrastructure, are important but cannot be maximally funded. More schools, roads, and bridges can probably be built if the government can allocate much more to these sectors.
However
Linking Words
, I think
this

problem can be substituted by the benefit of
knowledge

and
experience

of the ageing

Use synonyms
,
such

as how an ageing national leader can deliver a great policy.
For instance

, Steve Jobs, a multinational company leader, invented Apple products that produced many benefits in technology for many

worldwide.
On the other hand

, more older

knowledge

and
experience

can be widely accepted as a great benefit for a nation.
For instance
Linking Words
, Mahathir Mohammad, a 97 years old president of Malaysia, led the government by implementing his years of

.
As a result
Linking Words
,
according to
Linking Words
some economic experts, it could solve a problematic problem related to Malaysia's economy,
such

as a high inflation rate, high unemployment, and an ineffective economic program implemented. In comparison, a previous president could not handle these problems because of the lack of
experience

in Malaysia's economic history. I agree with
this

point because many older adults have more
knowledge

and
experience

than younger ones, so they are more capable of tackling important issues. In conclusion,
although
Linking Words
the ageing
population

may cause excessive budgets in the

sector, they have more
experience

and
knowledge

they can share as a great benefit to the nation.
Thus
Linking Words
, I believe the upside greatly outweighs the downside.
