　　Aging of the Population

　　Population officials and demographers have much to worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion of people aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century, people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population — that means one out of every four people will be senior!

　　The aging population poses a serious challenge to families and the society. On the one hand, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline in working force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to some extent.

　　The rapidity of the population’s aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. There is no doubt that the key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What’s more, family care and community-based services should also be encouraged.

　　篇二：老龄化社会的利与弊

　　The aging population has been regarded as a worldwide phenomenon. (交代背景)Fundamentally, such trend is an evitable outcome of the improvement of educational level and medical progress and the achievement of public health programs. (分析成因)However, disadvantages brought with such demographic change can never be neglected.(提出个人观点)

　　First, as life expectancy has risen and will continue to increase, the pension system will pose a far more serious financial burden on governments.(中心论点) Increase in the number of retired people means a higher pressure for those financing their pensions.(进一步论证) Such unsustainable situation calls for governments to carry out more effective measures to keep their pension systems afloat. Unfortunately, measures such as raising the retirement age to bring down huge public deficits has proved to be quite unpopular among people.(事例论证)

　　In addition, with more employers retiring and less workforce available, economy would definitely suffer. (中心论点)The number of job vacancies in China are predicted to reach over one hundred million in twenty years.(事例论证) If there are not enough young adults replenish the labor pool, Chinese government will probably have to rely largely on immigrants from South-eastern countries to guarantee a sufficient labor supply and even abolish one-child policy in response to its ongoing economic crisis.(反证)

　　From what is discussed above, different areas of aging research all point to the same conclusion that disadvantages of an aging society far outweighs its advantages.(重申观点)Therefore, countries should cooperate very closely with each other and establish more platforms for academicians and scientists to research and reverse the ongoing trend.(升华主题)
