It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than that of young people in many countries in the future? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

      It is predicted that in many countries the percentage of the elderly population will be higher than the proportion of the young generation. While this will create some problems, I believe that it is on balance a positive development.
      In the advantages aspects, the senior people are the good mentors, and the proficient managers, workers in the companies as well as government system to build a better country. Because the old took much time to sharpen skills and gain much more knowledge, experiences in their practical field in their youth, which created the best vision for them to lead the young generation or their nation to the accurate and prosperous development. For example, Vladimir Putin – the current Russia president is over 65 years old who is the most successful leader in the present world, his intelligent and effective strategy had made a great Russia.
      On the other hand, the rapid development of the information technology demands people learn the new technology, however, the old generation‘s learning speed is slower than the young people. The manufacturing will be delayed or inefficient if the senior worker is unable to use or apply modern equipment. Besides, the government must spend much more money on health care systems on looking after the elderly who is the most vulnerable victims by the disease. For example, in COVID-19 pandemic, the Italia is the old population were experienced the highest proportion of death.
      In conclusion, although health care for the elderly is a problem, there are positive aspects of this trend. From my perspective, the old generation will be the best support for the young to continue to develop their country.
