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?

are beneficial, while
the other one disagrees with that. In this
report, I will go through the merits and demerits of having them, and then
allow me to conclude
my point of view.
On the one hand, elderly people

Besides
that, in Japan, which contains the highest percentage of elderly people
, their culture is famous because there are a lot
of people
who protect their old traditions. Moreover
, they are helpful, beneficial, responsible, and profitable because a lot
of them did not use the internet when they were younger; as a result
, they have a lot
of helpful skills which are difficult to find nowadays such
as problem-solving, searching, and communication.
On the other hand
, they are money-consuming. To illustrate that, their health is usually poor so a lot
of money is spent to treat them. Also
