The UN Population Division report of 2022 projects world population to continue growing after 2050, although at a steadily decreasing rate, to peak at 10.4 billion in 2086, and then to start a slow decline to about 10.3 billion in 2100 with a growth rate at that time of -0.1%.
This estinmate is dropping almost every year. If the worlds population growth goes into reverse
How will we cope with a shrinking workforce, an aging population, and potential economic challenges, but also potentially lower resource consumption and environmental impact

@Captain OK so far no one has dared toanswer this question but th eonly comments that have been made are that if the population starts to decline the quality of infrastructure may start to delicne and this may reduce efficiency and so a loss in prductivity per head - exagerating the decline - not a jolly prospect
@Captain What i wouod add oth tat is that the increasd age of the populartion may at first give more work hours of availability but will surley leads to less per head as time goes by. So it sounds liek a declining population (so far) will actuialluy cause an accelating loss in productivity which is a bit of an oucch moment !
