Problem is, we are now living in a time of *aging population*

This mean that there are actually fewer young uns to look after more

old uns as time goes on.

And its not personal care thats the biggest problem, its having the

population young enough to take over jobs, electricians, plumbers,

house builders, refuse collection and every thing else that makes

society tick.

 

Its a world wide problem:
