參考范文

As the medical care system and technology are developing rapidly in modern society, people’s average expectancy has been increasing. The longevity of people may bring side effects to individuals and the whole society such as aging population. Some solutions will be given to solve those problems caused by the increasing life expectancy.

Increasing life expectancy means bigger proportion of older people in the population than before. This may result in fiercer employment pressure for young people and emotional emptiness for the senior citizens. Before those senior employees retire, young people will find it difficult to replace their positions because of the lacking working experience compared to the older ones. For the retirees, because of the increasing number of aging people and employment pressure for their children, there will be more and more empty-nest elderly people who cannot receive spiritual consolation from the younger generation.

Aging population brought by the longevity of people can also have negative effects on the society. Because the senior citizens retire from the working world, they no longer provide sufficient labor for the sustained economic growth of the society and the aging laborers turn into pure wealth consumers. Moreover, the elderly are not as innovative and energetic as the young people, so there will be less chance for the whole society to make a breakthrough to challenge the established traditions and change the status quo.

To solve those problems, I believe the government should release the policy to arrange more young talented people to succeed the experienced laborers and empower the older employees to offer constructive suggestions. Therefore, the younger generation may face less heavy financial burden and spend more quality time with the elderly people. The company should cultivate the corporation culture to encourage young employees to put forward creative ideas to make a difference to the current conditions.
