  Некоторые тезисы из работы по теме Due to increased life expectancy and lower birth rates, many countries are facing a “greying population”. Discuss the challenges that this trend may cause and evaluate possible solutions, with detailed reference to at least two countries
  Increased life expectancy appears to be a wonderful thing. However, it is not the universal benefit that it might at first seem to be. Thus, the economy experiences a shortage of workforce due to the phenomenon of a graying population. Older adults often suffer from poverty. A lot of elderly people spend the ‘extra time’ suffering from one or more physical disabilities and hence the discomfort.
  So, population aging is expected to affect the performance of financial markets in developed and emerging economies at a time when ever more countries are relying on funded provisions for old-age income support. Health issues of elderly people are of a great concern too.
