    A low birth rate is the main cause of an ageing population. When the birth rate is low, there are fewer children being born compared to the number of older individuals. This leads to a decrease in the proportion of young people in the population and an increase in the proportion of elderly individuals. As a result, the overall population ages. This can have various social and economic implications, such as increased healthcare and pension costs, a smaller workforce, and a potential strain on social welfare systems.

    If there is an ageing population, it means that there is a higher proportion of older people in the population compared to younger people. In this scenario, the older people will have to continue working until a certain age because there will be a greater demand for their skills and experience in the workforce. This is necessary to support the economy and ensure that there are enough workers to sustain the society.
