Aging is quietly reshaping the operating logic of global societies. As life expectancy extends while the working-age population shrinks, a widespread concern holds that older cohorts will drain public fiscal resources and weigh down economic innovation; another voice argues that a longevity society, if well planned, could instead foster a "silver economy" and unlock the potential for intergenerational mutual support. Faced with this profound demographic shift, do you believe the threat of aging to contemporary society has been overstated? Please draw on specific country or community cases to clarify your stance and justify the reasoning that supports it.
