Lookat the statementsbelow.Doyou think they aretrue? Discuss with a partner. '... we wish our elderly to live asfulfilled independenta life as possible.' and '... we are becoming an increasingly elderly society.. .' 2 Readthe extracts. For questions 1-6, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text. trend towards smaller families means a smaller number As medical science progresses, we are becoming an increasingly elderly society and, although living to a ripe old age can only be a good thing, it brings with it a large number of problems that we have yet to deal with 5 properly. One such problem is that the burden of financing care for the elderly is falling on a reduced percentage of the population. The gradual but steady of people to pay for the requirements of an increasin~' elderly population. The services needed by the elderl; are currently stretched to breaking point. Nursing homes, homecare, meals on wheels and so on all need more investment if we wish our elderly to live as fulfillet. and independent a life as possible. Young people toda. are encouraged to start saving with personal pensic:: schemes as early as possible to ensure an adequate!. financed retirement, since it is predicted that statt' pension levels in the future will not be enough [, guarantee a continuation of the lifestyle they ha'_ become accustomed to. In the interim we will have [, cope with an increasing older population who ar~ discovering too late that the steps they had taken . guarantee an income for their later years were I1;, sufficient. Obviously, the pressure on public funds- . subsidise this shortfall is enormous. Financingcare for the elderly is becoming difficult because A oldpeople require moreservices thantheyuSe.
