You probably have noticed it: Chongqing's population has been aging fast. According t China's latest national census ( 人 口普查), up to 23.4 percent of the city's residents ( 居 民) are aged over 60. This number is expected to grow even further in the coming years.

Chongqing is not alone. Many other cities around the world have been experiencing this same problem for some time now. Some people are worried about this. The elderly, they say, do very little for the nation's economy (经济). The government, however, has to give them lots of retirement benefits (退休福利). But a recent survey shows that many people agree there are some positives to having an aging population.

With an aging population, younger people will have more chances to meet seniors in their daily lives. With age comes wisdom. Through usual communication, the elderly can bring a wealth of a useful life lessons to younger people. The young, at the same time, are  given  chances  to  see  things  from  a  completely  different perspective (视角).

Besides, in many cultures, it's normal for elderly parents to live with their children under the same roof. Their children may have already reached adulthood, but these gray-haired men and women continue to play an important role in their development. In some families, the elderly are taking care of their grandchildren. It's reported that half of all the children in China's cities live with their grandparents and are raised under their guidance. Thanks to this free childcare, working parents can contribute more to the economy.

An aging population is often considered to be a headache. But perhaps it can be argued that there are also some benefits to it.
