In the future, it is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people in some countries. Is this positive or negative development? v. 2
Developments in medical technology and health care systems, among many other factors, are leading to people having longer life expectancy than before. As this trend continues, in the future, we can expect the number of older people will be much greater than that of young people. In several ways, society may benefit from a growing proportion of senior citizens. However, I believe the rest of the world population would have to shoulder much more responsibilities and the global economy would face a serious labour crisis. On the positive side, an increase in the number of old people means a greater pool of volunteers for community and government projects. These people are usually more financially comfortable and therefore more willing to contribute free labour to ameliorating their communities. For example, we often see old people in developed countries engage in charity work to provide shelter and food for the homeless in their neighbourhoods. Such an act also instils a great sense of responsibility and altruism into the younger generation. This is, in fact, globally recognized to be advantageous in a world where selfishness hinder one from taking action for the sake of others. Nevertheless, aging populations will place the whole world under many pressures. Both governments and businesses will have to pay for increased retirement pensions and health care costs, which means taxpayers will have to bear a greater financial burden and younger workforce will have to work harder and care for the elderly at the same time. Furthermore, the lack of young labour workforce would cause stagnation for the growth of individual businesses and the global economy as a whole because little innovation may take place in this circumstance. As a matter of fact, many first world countries whose proportion of senior citizens is higher than that of young people, such as Japan, are already experiencing these undesirable impacts. In conclusion, an aging population is beneficial in certain ways. However, the benefits society may reap from an aging population cannot match the damage it inflicts. It is important that the world governments should not underestimate the complexity of this problem and take immediate action to reduce its future influences.
