In recent years, it has indeed become increasingly common for some countries to have a population with a very small number of older people and a relatively large number of adults. While acknowledging the potential benefits of this trend, I am convinced that the disadvantages considerably outweigh any positive outcomes.
On the one hand, having a large number of young adults is associated with considerable advantages. If a population has a relatively large number of young adults, young people bring new innovations, as young individuals learn new skills more quickly and easily, since they are adaptable. As a consequence, the country may develop economically through its new technologies and projects. Young adults can not only grow their country economically, but also create new startups and businesses. Had it not been for young adults, we could not have developed easily. A case in point is my home country, Uzbekistan, where our young generation brings numerous new innovations and technologies.
In addition, there are several disadvantages associated with a large number of young adults compared with a small number of older people. One major drawback is the pressure on education and training systems, as a growing number of young individuals create higher pressure for schools, which can lead to a decline in educational quality. Consequently, only a small number of young adults are able to study diligently. In a nutshell, while young adults are important for the future, nothing beats older people, as they help us learn new things.
Overall, although there are certain advantages to having a large number of young adults, especially economically, nevertheless the negative consequences outweigh the positive aspects.
