答案
Discussion about the effects of an aging population has become topical in many countries, including my own, in recent years. Many people are concerned about the relative increase in the number of people who have retired and therefore have to be supported by a relatively smaller number of working people. I think that this trend has both positive and negative effects on society. The main negative effect is that supporting retired people, either through direct financial support from children or through the tax and benefits system, will become more expensive. This means that either financial support for retired people has to be cut or more money has to be found, either through workers paying more or by finding more workers. In Europe and the trend is towards importing workers from other countries. This has led to heated debates about whether the immigrants can, or even should, integrate fully into European society. Some people believe that allowing mass immigration will undermine the values of the host country whereas others believe that having a variety of cultures aids social development. Japan has decided to import workers, but has also invested a lot of money in developing robots that can take over basic jobs done by humans. This, they hope, will reduce their reliance on foreign workers and avoid any cultural problems. There are also advantages to having an older population and these are often overlooked. Older people in developed countries where the proportion of the retired population is increasing fastest, are generally healthier than even This means that one way of increasing the number of workers and reduce the costs of having a large retired population is to increase the retirement age. A recent report in Britain suggested that the retirement age for men be increased from 65 to 68. One result might be more respect for older workers, who are also more experienced, particularly in dealing with people. Another way of increasing the work force is to get more women into full-time employment. Most British women work, but less than half work full-time. Using this resource would increase the status of women in society. In conclusion, an aging population can have both positive and negative effects on society, largely depending on how we react to it.
