Here are 11 key takeaways from the UN’s “World Population Prospects 2019”:

1. The global fertility rate is expected to be 1.9 births per woman by 2100, down from 2.5 today.

2. The world’s median age is expected to increase to 42 in 2100, up from the current 31 – and from 24 in 1950.

3. Africa is the only world region projected to have strong population growth for the rest of this century.

4. Europe and Latin America are both expected to have declining populations by 2100.

5. The population of Asia is expected to increase from 4.6 billion in 2020 to 5.3 billion in 2055, then start to decline.

6. In the Northern America region, migration from the rest of the world is expected to be the primary driver of continued population growth.

7. Six countries are projected to account for more than half of the world’s population growth through the end of this century, and five are in Africa.

8. India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country by 2027.

9. Between 2020 and 2100, 90 countries are expected to lose population.

10. Africa is projected to overtake Asia in births by 2060.

11. The Latin America and Caribbean region is expected to have the oldest population of any world region by 2100, a reversal from the 20th century.

It is a huge problem, I don’t think it will come down that much in the nect 50 years. Even more middle class families still have 4/5 children.

Only thing that will change this pattern is a natural disaster, people will not have fewer kids by choice

All of NA and Europe's growth is from immigration unfortunately, you can see towards the end of the graphic hundreds of millions of Europeans dying from old age and no one to replace them.
