                                    The Graying of the World

            Do you know the percentage of the elderly people in the world? Global aging is one of the most serious issues in the world right now. Now, people are increasing way too fast in the past years around the world. Studies have been made in the United States about aged people who are increasing 800,000 individual by the month. Global aging has its own way to say that the world is being too old and people are increasing in an enormous way.

            First of all, there are a lot of people who lives until 75 and older. being old is a challenge in our lifetime now. Even the birth rate is plummeting because of the aging over the world. Living until 75 could cost the government a lot of money to pay for the elder people to stay healthy and live a good life. For example, the government will pay for the old person for his Medicare and give the old people social security to live his life with his money.

            Second of all, paying the payroll taxes is very expensive for the young people. Every single young people have to pay the payroll taxes, which is some money you have to pay for the government. When the elder person get retired his young son should pay for him and that is very hard on the son because he have to pay payroll and take care of his father. The government should cancel the payroll taxes to allow the son to pay for is father and do not lose all his money. For example, if I had a dad and I do not have to pay any taxes I will pay for him anything he want because I do not have to worry about the money of the taxes. If they do that no one will face any fiscal issues.

            Third of all, dramatic decline in the fertility rates has many causes. Dramatic decline could cause woman gain economic opportunity and productive control. Also, the children will offer little or no economic rewards to parents. All that caused by the dramatic decline.

            All in all, there are many solutions for the elder people to get a good life and a healthy life too. Graying in the world is a very big issue, which no one can handle. The percent of aging is increasing by years. In my opinion, I think the graying in the world will keep escalating by the years.
