The number of senior citizens in society nowadays is climbing. Some believe it would lead to ramifications in their countries.

whereas

, others argue that they are of major importance to society.

This

essay agrees with the latter group, the benefits of having more older people benefit the public greatly. Having more seniors in communities could bring about major unemployment. As the age of retirement is from ages 65 to 70 years old many folk work for a longer time. And so, because there are more youngsters these days there are fewer job opportunities creating massive competition and unemployment and eventually homelessness, as the older folk stay in their fields for longer resulting in an imbalanced society.
