In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing. What problems will this cause for individuals and society? Suggest some measures that could be taken to reduce the impact of ageing populations.

It is obvious that countries which have high life expectation at birth are dealing with many consequences of aging populations. This essay is going to mention some of the adverse effects on this phenomenon, as well as some solutions to tackle these problems.

            On one hand, the increase in the rate of aging people in one society will undoubtedly accompany with some fallout.  Governments would collect fewer taxes while they have to pay more for other welfare costs, such as health care systems and retirement pension. Although the spending tends to rise, the national income is decreased due to the shortage of human resources.  Besides, on the individual level, there would be more and more lonely old people who do not have anyone to take care of, because in an extended family, young parents usually serve almost of their time for their work and their children.

            Even though the situation seems to be gloomy, however, there are several means to mitigate it. Employing immigrants is possible, whereas (the) aging nations can take advantage of (the) new labor forces. The Singapore, for example, is a country whose (the) economy is made up mostly from professional services such as finance and education, depends mainly on their human assets. They pass laws and regulations to attract good people from all over the world. Another resolution to help the old people is building bridges between them and the youth of today. In British, there are many intergenerational schemes to connect the two generation. For instance, they pair the elder and the young together, so the old ones can share their experience, while the young people can help them to do some housework.

            In conclusion, several measures can be taken to solve these problems as the population of a country is growing older.

Hi các bạn, bài trên là mình viết từ 1 đề lấy trên FB của thầy Simon. Ở trên có 1 vài trường hợp dùng mạo từ "the" tô đậm mà mình thắc mắc, là có nên dùng the trong trường hợp đó hay ko, hoặc có thay thế bởi mạo từ a/an hay ko. Mình có tham khảo ở 1 trang web này: https://vi.duolingo.com/comment/3850844 

 dù dc giải thích kĩ nhưng mình vẫn ko chắc chắn lắm. Rất cảm ơn bạn nào sửa bài giúp mình và giải thích giúp mình.
