Some people believe that the aging population is good for business, the economy, and society.

Others,
however, disagree with this view. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

On the one hand, there are some economic and social benefits related to the aging population. Firstly,
senior workers are able to make contributions to some fields such as teaching, management, scientific
study, and politics thanks to their extensive experience. It can be often seen that leading executive
directors at the age of 50s participate in workshops and assist companies in more effectively working, or
help lectures to train their students for important because of their wide knowledge and hands-on
experience. Secondly, because most people in modern life are busy working at the office, senior
members like grandparents can take the responsibility for childcare, which eases parents’ stress that
their children lack moral support or entertainment acitivities.

On the other hand, some people can argue that those with longer expectancy can have some negative
influences. The main reason makes this believable is that the aging population can impose heavy
pressure on the economy and healthcare system. Hospitals will be filled with the elderly seeking for
medical treatments while the workforce will be in trouble due to a lack of productive workers who often
make the biggest contribution to society. Another reason is that more old people will pose a burden to
families since parents will have to take care of older members, and certainly aging people tend to be
conservative and stubborn, which can cause frequent conflicts.
The given bar chart compares the proportion of the British population who ate the suggested daily
amount of fruits and vegetables over a period of 8 years.

Overall, it is clear that there was an increase in the percentage of men, women, and children consuming
the recommended fruits and vegetables daily. In addition, women consistently had the highest figures,
while the opposite was seen in that of children.

The proportion of women sufficiently taking in fruits and vegetables started the period at 25% in 2002,
after which it experienced a rapid rise to reach a peak of 32% in 2006, before ending the period at 27%
in 2010. In contrast, only 11% of children in the UK consumed enough amount of fruits and vegetables,
with a subsequent increase to 16% in 2006, and a final slight decline to 14 in 2010.

Starting at 22%, the proportion of men who consumed the suggested amount of fruits and vegetables
increased to 28% in 2006, followed by a drop to 24% in the last year.
