According to research, there are numerous countries around the world, these days, that are having a problem of aging society. The ratio of elderly is continuously increasing. As a universal problem, it has positive impacts as well as the negative ones to families and the whole society.

Frankly, an aging society has some advantages in a way. Older people are, as a whole, more experienced in life and are more responsible towards work. The society, therefore, will be a more stable place in terms of employment and other related fields. Meanwhile, younger employees will surely have more opportunities to learn from and possibly catch up with the older ones. It is well-known that most crimes nowadays are committed by younger people. Thus, with increasing older people in a certain society, the crime rate will be dramatically descending.

Admittedly, an overly high proportion of older people will affect any country negatively. First off, the younger generations will be burdened economically. Take Japan for instance, each newly married couple, evidence shows, has to support four older people in the family on average. Not only does aging influence families, but the communities and societies as well. Older people at the workplace are less likely to be more creative and passionate than the younger staff. They are, to the opposite, more conservative and less efficient comparatively. However, a great number of higher-up positions are still taken by the older people, and this prevents the younger employees from getting promotions to an extent. For the government, on the other hand, an aging society is an extremely tough situation to cope with. Evidently, the authorities will be forced to increase the budget on public elderly services, such as physical health care, medical insurance and social welfare homes, etc.

In conclusion, the limited positive effects of the increasing proportion of older people should not be denied, but the increase brings more negativity to society.
