In some countries, the proportion of people aged 15 or younger is increasing.

What effects will

this trend have on these countries?
Some demographic survey has / surveys have shown that there is a trend on the rising number of
youth in certain countries, especially in some developing countries. his may be because of any
reasons such as illiteracy and poverty or wars, etc. his essay shall delve into the cons and pros of
this phenomenon.
!n increasing number of children and teenagers impose a ponderous burden on their parents and
the labor mar"et. #arents are e$pected to invest more money on school tuition, studying supplies
and e$tra%curricular activities, such as ballet classes or swimming courses, assuming that they give
birth to more than one "id. What&s worse, as those potential wor" forces have constantly climbed
up, population aged 15 or younger will e$perience difficulty hunting for professions due to a
fiercer competition of 'ob mar"et several years later.
(n the other hand, the proportion of young generation benefits the whole society, for the sa"e of
the prosperity of schooling and the generation of 'ob chances. )overnment are obliged to augment
their e$pense on education resources, thereby providing more state%of%art teaching technology,
training sufficient high%*ualified tutors and establishing ade*uate high%caliber libraries, in order to
satisfy the growing demand for educational resources. +oreover, when youth surges, it facilitates
the rapid flourish of other industries, such as nursery, boo" stores and strollers, which absolutely
triggers more 'ob opportunities for laid%off wor"ers.
,aving discussed both sides of the coin, I pen down saying that its vulnerabilities outweigh its
merits. In this aspect, administrative authorities are re*uired to formulate step%by%step strategies
with respect to controlling the rate of birth in developing countries, so as to diminish the pressure
of parents and human resources.
