【12-15】    “Aging Population” is no stranger to many countries now, and it has become a serious problem.As we are now in the twenty-first century, our living condition has become a lot better. We not onlyhave enough food to eat, but also enjoy better health care and medical help. Besides, we don’t haveto go to wars as often as those who lived 70 or 80 years ago. People simply live longer and healthiertoday.    But how would this be a problem for us if people can enjoy longer lives? To start with, as thereare more old people in a country, the government needs to do a lot more to help take care of theelderly people. This means more nursing homes need to be built, and more money to spend onhealth care. Also, too many elderly people in the country will bring trouble to the young, too. Youngerpeople will have to work very hard to make enough money to support themselves and their agingparents, who might not be able to work anymore. Because of the worries about money and extra timespent on their jobs in exchange for more money, young people don’t want to get married or do notwish to give birth to children. This will later become an even greater problem as there are fewer andfewer kids and young people in the country. In the end, we won’t have enough young people workingin our own country and will have to bring in more workers from foreign countries, which can beanother problem for us in the future. Although there is no quick solution to the problems brought byAging Population and they are difficult to solve, there must be something we and our government cando. We need to start from now before it is too late.  century 世紀 condition 狀況 war 戰爭 support 支持 solution 解決
