In many countries, people are now living longer than ever before. Some people say an ageing population creates problems for governments. Other people think there are benefits if society has more elderly people. To what extent do the advantages of having an ageing population outweigh the disadvantages?

In

this

era, many individuals tend to live longer in some parts of the world, which makes the elderly continuously increase in these countries. Some

people

believe

this

situation will be beneficial because these experienced

people

can teach their skills to the modern generation of children.

Conversely

, these senior citizens will

cause

many troubles, like in China, where many employees have to

work

harder to support their old parents. I personally hold the belief that the disadvantages of having an

population outweigh the advantages. On the one hand, citizens who have mastered their skills can convey

this

knowledge to their relatives and their children.

In addition

, these

people

can decide to

work

further

at some university, even if they are retired.

For example

, there are many elderly who

work

at a university in Thailand, where they can generate income and feel happy with their pupils because

this

occupation does not require a strong body. Meanwhile, they can use

this

opportunity to exercise every day, which makes a healthy body for them. On the one hand, these

people

can

cause

drawbacks to their relatives since they cannot do anything by themselves, which makes their children pay attention to these

people

.

Additionally

, the younger generation has to advance in worker roles to make financial aid to the older generation, and some families have to deal with poverty problems and cannot produce enough support budget. To illustrate, in the case study in China, the number of

individuals is more than the adult population, and there is a lack of budget for these workers, which means these

people

are supported by the government.

Therefore

, these

people

will

cause

issues for the government in the residual who lack of money. In conclusion,

although

older adults can

work

as a teacher and generate income by themselves, they cannot do it in the long period, causing drawbacks to their kin. In my opinion, I hold the belief that these

people

cause

disadvantages more than advantages;

besides

, we have to reward them for taking care of us for a long time.

Thus

, they have to stay at home, and we have to support them.
