It is widely believed that the number of senior people will solely outnumber that of the young generation worldwide in the future. From my perspective, this phenomenon will exert a negative impact and pose a serious threat to the improvement of society as a whole. This essay will first give a plausible explanation, and then talk about its impacts on the human race.
First of all, the situation in which an increase in the number of elderly citizens compared to the youth will put heavy pressure on the government budget. This is because senior generation not only retires from the laboring workforce, but also being paid for their pension annually by the governments, which reduces the finance for other aspects of life. For example, the retired community in Vietnam has been receiving monthly pension since 2014, exerting a reduction in the total national budget.
Furthermore, this phenomenon has been a burden for the young generation recently, due to the fact that the youth has a huge responsibility to provide finance for their families, and therefore, literally no one at home to take care of their grandparents. For instance, Japanese housewives are usually responsible for the housework and caring for their children as well as their grandparents, while their husbands are the breadwinners, and thus these women can not pursue their own careers.
In conclusion, the phenomenon of the aging population generally has been causing some bad impacts on the development of a community, which is a financial burden for their governments and their children.

In some nations, like China…
In some nations, like China and other developing countries, the average life expectancy trend shows that the percentage of elderly citizens will rise as compared to young citizens. An increasing number of old people in a country should be a matter of concern for the government as it restricts economic growth and puts a burden on the health care infrastructure.
The main factor responsible for the development of any nation is always its young workforce, which means, the country with more youth always remains a step ahead of other nations in terms of capability to work. In the same way, the country with more elderly people is less likely to grow economically as it creates a supply shortage of qualified workers. Also, when the life expectancy of people increases, they are more likely to work for a longer period of time, and their retirement age increases, this creates job deficiency for the younger generation. In countries like Japan, for example, the average life expectancy is very high due to which the young workforce is comparatively very less. All these factors are highly responsible for lowering productivity and shrinking the workforce.
Secondly, as more people are ageing rapidly than ever before, it puts a burden on the health care system, in other words, better health care infrastructure and policies are required for the well-being of elderly people. All these facilities come with a cost that ensures that people can avail of medical facilities without any hassle. In some countries like North Korea, the government spends almost 10% of its GDP to introduce better health protection & pension schemes for the elderly. Such initiatives by the government authority, like allocating more money and resources to their health care systems, are imperative so that the medical needs of old people are fulfilled.
To conclude, in different countries, there is an increasing trend of average life expectancy which is considered as a negative development. It restricts not only the economic growth of the nation by depending on a small pool of young workers, but also puts an extra cost on the health care system.
