PROS & CONS OF THE AGEING POPLUATION
- KEY
- BURDEN
- POSITIVES
- Longer, more active retirement
- Quality time with children/grandchildren
- More people available for
labour market
- Having to pay out pensions longer
- Strain on Health and
social care services
- Some older people
have disposable
income because they
have paid off their
mortgages
- Boosts economy
- Some physically
fit older people
volunteer and 'give
back' to society
- If the pension age isn't
increased and people
have the option to retire,
this places a strain on
our shrinking adult
workforce
- Grown up children end up
having to "bridge the gap" and
care for their parents to make up
for the lack of services
