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

I’ve heard 9 billion is the ideal population but only if there is a good distribution of ages and most importantly, everyone has access to renewable energy and clean water and good technology.
@Greyjedi An ideal population ?? So enogh to maintian infrastucture all around the world but with sustainable levels of resource use. I dont't know, we seem to be wrecking the seas, and destroying the natural order with agriculture, but if you think they are acceptable saccrifices I can see 9 billion might work. I think mr Philadelphia experiements 11000 not acutally living on the surface of earth is a much better goal. JMHO.
