On one hand, by increasing life expectancy, people can live longer and healthier lives. Older people often have more life experience, and they can guide the younger generation, increasing wisdom in family members. They also help younger generations understand the culture of their ancestors better. From an economic perspective, this can be helpful because older individuals can teach younger workers about the ups and downs of their careers, improving their skills and clearing the path for them. They can act as mentors or managers, helping companies handle most uncertainties.
Conversely, there are some drawbacks to this trend. Firstly, increasing life expectancy puts pressure on the healthcare system because many older people need more medication and healthcare. In addition, older people are not active workers, and the government needs to prepare more housing and transportation systems for them. This can lead to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions due to the growing elderly population. Moreover, since older people are no longer taxpayers, younger people may have to pay higher taxes to support them.
I cannot compare this situation to my country because increasing life expectancy depends heavily on peace and economic stability. In my country, war and poor economic conditions are the main reasons preventing an increase in life expectancy.
Overall, despite the disadvantages of this situation, the advantages of increasing life expectancy outweigh the drawbacks. However, if I compare it to my country, the situation is very different due to the lack of peace and economic stability.
