Around the world, people are now living longer than ever before in the past. Some say an ageing 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 ageing population outweigh the disadvantages?

These days, the
overall
age of the world is increasing and some believe that
this
has a positive view.
However
, the rest of the people think that
this
is a detrimental change to us because it will be able to cause a severe recession and threaten younger generations. In
this
essay, I will present my perspectives and make a conclusion.
To begin
with, the majority of environmental experts argue that nations, that suffer from an increasing rate of aging population, are entering a stable economy without development, and it will cause the biggest wave in the nations.
For example
, Asian countries like South Korea, Japan, and China, have
this
social phenomenon. Most experts anticipate that they will face a tremendous economic problem because the young generations are dramatically declining and when they can not

their real estate, workers in companies and primary industries, a number of industries and businesses will go bankrupt without mercy.
As a result
, we have to thoughtfully consider these issues and make reasonable solutions.
Additionally
, others argue that if the number of elderly people is rising, the government is going to get into considerable trouble with pensions, welfare, and finances.
This
is because when they enter a specific age, which can not work and earn money, responsibilities passed to young adults will grow as much as they can not tackle with it.
For example
, Japan, having a crisis of the younger population’s rate, tries to address
this
problem by suggesting several policies to reduce social budgets being consumed by the older generation
such
as medical and welfare budgets.
Consequently
,
although
they prevent direct damage by the problem, we can not be sure down the road. In conclusion, I believe that there are several more acute drawbacks than advantages, so we should seriously consider
this
topic for the nation's progression.

Coherence and Cohesion
The essay lacks a clear introduction and conclusion. The introduction and conclusion should clearly outline the writer's position and summarize the main points.
Task Achievement
The essay provides some relevant examples and attempts to address both sides of the argument. However, the response should be more comprehensive and the position should be clearly stated in the introduction and addressed throughout the essay.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
