Surveys show that in many countries people are living much longer, but increased life expectancy has many implications for the aged individuals and for society as a whole. What are the possible effects of living longer on individuals and society? What measures should be taken to reduce the influence of the aging population?
Over the past few decades, the well-being of society has been enhanced in leaps and bounds. For this reason, people are healthier to enjoy a longer life. However, accompanied by this development, some detrimental influences on the old and governments will be more seriously, so some proactive actions should be taken to alleviate this trouble.
Everything has double-edged impacts and aging population is not an exception, which may have negative effects on individuals and society. Undeniably, our society has been becoming highly competitive, thereby requiring the youth to turn workaholics who do not have enough quality family time. As a result, the aging people are usually subject to a feeling of loneliness and hopelessness. In terms of the whole society, financial burdens on authorities are also more and more onerous. Inevitably, the increasingly high lifespan means that a larger amount of budget should be allocated into pension and healthcare services, which may considerably affect economic progress.
From my perspective, both individuals and state officials should pool their hands to address this dilemma. Notwithstanding busy work, descendants should arrange their free time plausibly to spend with their parents or grandparents. Regular communications will help them improve their health both psychologically and physically. Besides, governments should give incentives to create new jobs for the elderly such as imparting their experience for their younger counterparts or working as babysitters. Not only the old can be relax, but they can contribute to the economy’s evolution.
In conclusion, although aging society has some intractable problems, the synergy of individuals and authorities can tackle these issues to help the elderly enjoy their rest sound lives.Feel free to leave your comments, thank you!
