In many countries, the elderly proportion of the population is increasing steadily. Does this trend have positive or negative effects on society?
Nowadays many hold the view that the steady increase in old population does good to society. However, there is a body of opinion holding that this trend has bad effects on the society. In this essay I will examine both sides of the debate to seek a conclusion.
To begin with, it is undeniable that aging society may put a financial strain on the government. To be specific, more old people mean more national expense since the government has the duty to pay the pension to the old when they retire and pay for medical bills when they are sick. What is more, this trend also leads to labor shortage in the workshop, with fewer young workers engaging in industrial activities when there are more seniors.
On the other hand, however, the aging group gives the young chances to adapt to the working environment as more and more seniors will give the young more work experience and help them to develop employable skills. Besides, probably it will boost medical development, since the increasing number of old people may force doctors or relevant researchers to work hard to figure out efficient ways that the elderly can keep healthy.
To sum up, there is no doubt that the increasing proportion of the elderly actually gives many financial burden to the government and causes labor shortage. At the same time, however, it basically allows the young to adapt to the society and improve the development of medical technology. In the final analysis, therefore, one can safely conclude that the increase increase in numbers of the elderly actually has a negative effect on the society.
