Sample paragraph (disadvantages)


As people live longer and the populations of countries grow older,
several related disadvantages can be anticipated. The main issue is
that there will obviously be more people of retirement age who will
be eligible to receive a pension. The proportion of younger, working
adults will be smaller, and governments will therefore receive less
money in taxes in relation to the size of the population. In other
words, an ageing population will mean a greater tax burden for
working adults. Further pressures will include a rise in the demand for
healthcare, and the fact young adults will increasingly have to look
after their elderly relatives.
