    The slowing down of population growth is real though. Trend of fewer children is across the board not just developed countries. Current trajectory estimates population to peak out in 2050-2080 and then decline, for some in their youth in next 30 or 50 years may not be that too far to completely dismiss.

      Depending on how climate change goes, population might decline by many billions. Hopefully I’ll be dead by then.
