In many countries around the world, life expectancy is increasing. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this situation and give your opinion.
Over the last few decades, many countries worldwide have seen a substantial increase in life expectancy due to advanced health care. While it is argued that this trend is advantageous, others believe that it can harm both individuals and society. In this essay, both these viewpoints will be discussed.
It is evident that a longer lifespan could be beneficial to human beings. The most vital advantage is that retirees often possess a wealth of experience and specialized knowledge obtained through their long working careers. As a consequence, an elderly population might serve as mentors to future generations and provide guidance when making critical decisions such as signing large contracts. Furthermore, with the help of advanced medicine, the elderly are striving for longevity, which translates to prolonged working lives even after their retirement age can provide them a source of income independently without their children's employment. Secondly, retirees can pursue their interests or passions such as traveling or playing sports. This could be useful to their mental health and enable them to maintain sane and comfortable in life.
I am of the opinion that the detrimental effects of this phenomenon could be of more significance than the mentioned benefits. To begin, both society and family may face financial issues to meet the needs of an aging population. Indeed, the government must cover a large amount of pension and welfare, resulting in a budget shortfall for other priority areas such as education and the environment. Moreover, families may suffer from severe financial burdens in providing healthcare and insurance to seniors, the majority of whom are unable to work or earn, which has a negative influence on the family's economy. Another critical factor is that longer life expectancy can worsen overpopulation concerns. More people means an increased demand for food, water, housing, energy, healthcare, transportation, and more. And all that consumption contributes to ecological degradation, increased conflicts, and a higher risk of large-scale disasters like pandemics.
In conclusion, while some people argue that increasing lifespan is good for its enhancement of living quality and occupation, in my opinion, these must imbalance the implications for health and money.
