Population growth across most of the world is over. India which had been used as an example of population growth for decades now has a fertility rate 2.05. And, China is well below Japan!

Most people are going to be old for decades to come.

This is going to be a huge problem for society fairly soon and it's not something you can turn around in an instant.
How about Africa? Any projections?
Still growing and the main reason worldwide population continues to increase. That said it is projected to slow down over the next several generations like other areas.
It's almost paradoxical, but it seems like as the quality of life increases, the reproduction rate decreases.
