Abstract

The present study investigates the effects of rising life expectancy and population numbers onthe state of community welfare in Gunungsitoli City between 2018 and 2022. Life expectancyrose along with the substantial population boom that Gunungsitoli City had throughout thistime.

The findings of the study demonstrate that while longer life expectancies aregood for welfare, rapid population expansion might make it more difficult for the governmentto provide for people's fundamental requirements, hence
