Bài m u tham kh oẫ ả
In many countries, as life expectancy is increasing steadily, elderly people
are outnumbering those in their young ages. While some people think the greying population
is beneficial, I hold the opinion that this trend can pose more threats to the economic
development and national budget of a country.
On the one hand, some people may have compelling reasons to stay optimistic about a greying
population. Firstly, hands-on experience of senior citizens is a valuable asset to the economic
and social development. With their unrivalled experience and extensive knowledge, elderly
people can play vitalroles as advisers in some companies, helping businesses function more
efficiently. Alternatively, they may enter politics to become senators or representatives.
Secondly, older people can back up youngsters in their career. For example, some grandparents
nowadays may stay at home and take care of the children so that their parents can concentrate
on their career.
On the other hand, I believe that aging population can have some serious drawbacks. Initially, it
is true that in order to lead the economic take-off, there needs to be a young and
dedicated workforce. For this reason, a population with more people in their retirement age
cannot shoulder this weighty responsibility, putting the economy of a country on the brink of a
downturn. Additionally, a greying population means that more public money needs to be spent on
welfare service such as healthcare and pension for senior citizens while these people are no
longer in employment and do not create materials for the society. This may put strain on the
national budget, which is already exhausted due to very few people in their working age paying
income taxes.
