This newspaper talks about the problem of an aging population. What's the average lifetime in your country?
About seventy-five years. How about in your country?
About seventy.
I heard that the government might need to increase the retirement age to sixty-seven, because otherwise there will not be enough workers to support the young and the elderly.
But in that case, people who actually, you know, move box or stand at checking point counter for a living, will have a difficult time getting a job.
But the cost for covering the health care of the elderly are expensive, so this policy is necessary. And we're living longer.
An increase in the retirement age will certainly have a bad effect on the lowest income part of the population.
Perhaps we need to have more babies.
