These
days, declining birthrate and growing proportion of elderly people has been one
of the serious problems in Japan. The news says that the proportion of elderly
people will become over 30 percent. I believe it will make more serious
problems. Then, I will show you why I think so.
First,
declining birthrate means decreasing the population of the generation which
work the most, such as 30’s and 40’s. It makes economics bad. Now, Japan has huge
sum of debt and we should pay off. However, if the population of working people
decrease, we cannot pay off. It will be a serious problems. Japan will happen
to become on the verge of collapse like Greece and Spain. If this things
happen, people will become panicked. That is, decreasing the population of the
generation which work the most will make Japan collapse.
Second,
as increasing the proportion of elderly people, burden of tax young people have
to pay will be growing. In other words, young generation should pay tax for the
pension, medical expenses, nursing care insurance expense and welfare expense
of the elderly people. A few young people will become to have to support many
elderly people. It will make the strength of Japan weaker. In short, if the
popular of elderly people increase, burden of young people will be higher and
the strength of Japan will be weaker.
In
conclusion, declining birthrate and growing proportion of elderly people will
cause many problems as I said. Therefore, we should think this problem carefully
and take steps to cope with the situation. (261 words)
Hello, Sayaka! I read your article. I agree with your idea that declining of the birth rate. I also suggest that if the rate keep declining for the long time, as you said, the number of worker will decrease and the economy in Japan also will decline. It may be impossible to stop declining the birth rate, but we have to try to keep the number of worker no to collapse the economy. I believe that improving the welfare for the parents which has their children may be one solution of the birth problem.
