Around the world, people are now living longer than ever before in the past. Some say an aging population creates problems for governments. Others believe there are benefits to society having more elderly people. To what extent do the advantages of possessing an aging population outweigh the disadvantages?

In recent years, the amount of elderly population has increased significantly.

Although

some individuals argue that it will be a problem for states, I strongly believe

this

situation will have benefits over drawbacks. The upward trend of an ageing society in the

country

has several benefits.

Firstly

, some groups of elderly

people

who have sufficient wealth and financial well-being can generate revenue for the

country

and stimulate the economy

due to

their purchasing power.

Moreover

, currently, many countries continually have lower birth rates resulting in a lower amount of workers and laborers. Elderly

people

who are still healthy can work and drive the

country

forward. Even Though there are some drawbacks of an ageing society, it can be mitigated. When the states have more ageing

people

, the younger

people

have to work and pay more taxes in order to subsidize the elderly.

However

, the senior citizens who are able to work

also

have the ability to pay for tax in order to develop the

country

. Another disadvantage of an ageing society is the government needs to spend a huge amount of the budget on the healthcare system.

Nevertheless

, it can be mitigated by encouraging and educating senior citizens to do the things that can improve their health,

for example

, eating healthy food and exercising. In conclusion, an ageing population has benefits over the drawbacks

such

as stimulating the economy and releasing the problem of lower birth rates.

Nonetheless

, there are some disadvantages, there are several ways to mitigate them.
