hoping for amendment to make my essay more idiomatic In some developing countries, there are relatively more young adults than older people, and I believe this situation will benefit these countries’ development. First, more young adults will benefit the economic development. Because more young adults means more labor force and lower labor prices, and plenty of international corporations would like to invest in these developing countries to cut the domestic labor costs. For example, China has a large amount of cheap labor force, which attracts a lot of foreign capital and helps China achieve the great economic development goal. After all, labor force is one of the most competitive resources in most developing countries. In addition, more young adults will enhance the scientific and technologic development. As we all know, young adults can acquire new knowledge easier and quicker than older people, and accelerate the process of industrialization. India, for instance, the government has been encouraging young students to study software, and that’s one of the reasons why India can become the top-class software producer. A country can never be a great scientific and technological pioneer without these young and industrious talents. I would also agree that more young adults can bring some disadvantages, such as population problem. More young adults, higher birth ratio. Overwhelming population will cause the lack of accommodation and environmental pollution. And Chinese government is facing this terrible situation and have to take much energy and substantial sums of money to deal with it. But if the government can use the right policy to guide people, and don’t make the population spiral out of control, population problem can be largely mitigated. All in all, I prefer to contend that more young adults is better than more old people in a developing country.

hoping for amendment to make my essay more idiomatic

In some developing countries, there are relatively more young adults than older people, and I believe this situation will benefit these countries’ development.

First, more young adults will benefit the economic development of these countries because more young adults means more labor force and lower labor prices.   and As a result, plenty of international corporations would like to invest in these developing countries to cut the domestic labor costs.  For example, China has a large cheap labor force which attracts a lot of foreign capital and helps China achieve it's great economic development goals.  After all, labor force is one of the most competitive resources in most developing countries.

In addition, more young adults will enhance the scientific and technological development. As we all know, young adults can acquire new knowledge easier and quicker than older people and accelerate the process of industrialisation.Take India's government,  for instance, the government it  has been encouraging young students to study software and that’s one of the reasons why India has become the a top-class software producer. A country can never become a great scientific and technological pioneer without these young and industrious talents.

I would also agree that more young adults can bring some disadvantages, such as population growth as  more young adults contribute to a higher birth rate.  Overwhelming population growth will cause  create the a serious lack of accommodation and larger environmental pollution issues.  This is a situation that the  Chinese government is having to face now and have had to take  invest much energy and substantial sums of money to deal with it but if the government can use  introduce the right policy to guide people, and these policies do not  make cause the population to spiral out of control, then the population problem can be largely mitigated.

All in all, I prefer to contend that more young adults is are a better resource than more old people in a developing country.

China has a large amount of cheap labor force (because a labor force is a mass noun, it doesn't take quantity)

enhance the scientific and technological development

young adults can acquire new knowledge more easily and more quickly than older people (quick is an adjective, quicker is the comparative version.  quickly is an adverb, and the comparative is "more quickly".  same is true of "easy" but "easier" is sometimes used in speech)

that’s one of the reasons why India canwill become thea top-class software producer (nice to see 会 as can vs will also gives Chinese people trouble)

More young adults leads to a higher birth rate. (In formal written English you have to spell this out with a verb)

If you turned this in as a High School English assignment in the United States, the other advice you would get is to drop all of the "conversational" words:  After all, as we all know, I would also agree, All in all, I prefer.
