Economy-wise, questions also abound. To begin with, what does it mean to a society in which half of the population is aged over 60 and could partially remain in active workforce? This being the case, would people still decide to dedicate their first two decades only to education, the next four decades exclusively to career and parenting, and the last 40 years solely to leisure, awaiting eventual death at 100 or so? So, it is up to the younger generation to make economic sense of people living longer in the future, seeing the aging population less as a burden than a bonus. In otheer words, if older people could keep working for more years, gains in peoples lifespan should not necessarily cause economic losses to society. Neither should possible costs of public health measures, disease preventions, improved living conditions and better medical interventions be considered as a waste of money.
Inevitably, the phenomenon of the aging population will become a new reality--socially as well as economically. Both generations, the younger and the older, could somehow be expected to work together side by side and all members of society should in diverse ways contribute to the well-being of the whole country. Besides, on second thought, who is afraid of the responsibility for the aging population?
