In many countries, people are now living longer than ever before. Some people say an aging population creates problems for governments. Other people think there are benefits if society has more elderly people. To what extent do the advantages of having an ageing population outweigh the disadvantages? People often say it is advantageous that our society has more elderly people. While it may seem that we need to face some challenges onward, I believe that the positive impacts on the country's prosperity outweigh the negative ones.
