In this essay, I
intend to explore
the issues caused by this phenomenon
and offer
some effective solutions
as well
.
The problems caused by
a much longer average life expectancy
are multiple
.
To begin
with
, the ageing population creates a huge burden for the government.
Specifically
, taxpayers
must work harder in order to financially support the ageing population who are not in the
workforce anymore.
Also, it seems that
more and more families have fewer and fewer
children.
In other words
, fewer children must look after ageing parents in the long run (
e.g.
a
couple may have to take care of four elderly parents while working full-time and taking care of
their children, which realistically becomes a concern for the family).
Finally
, the quality of life
during those very senior years is actually quite low.
