Advantages
- An older population has solid and traditional views and morals.
- The older work force is an experienced and hard working one.
- A larger percentage of an ageing population attracts specific industries and create new job oppurtunities.
- An older population is less likely to rely on their own transport; this means more public transport and less carbon emissions.

Disadvantages
- An ageing popualtion is expensive to maintain.
- Pensioners are not contributing to the 'pot of gold'. They are not working, which means they are not contributing to taxes.
- With an ageing population there is more money being taken from the funds than what is being provided.
- Older people are more likely to get ill/injured, so longer opening hours for surgeries and better accessibilty to health care staff are essential. This would cost the NHS millions.
