People around the world are living longer and having fewer children. Those are just a few of the trends the United Nations described in a report on the world's population.
While the average life expectancy is projected to rise from 72.98 in 2019 to 77.2 in 2050, the rate of growth will continue to slow down across the globe, according to the report released Tuesday.
The world reached 7 billion people in 2011 and the U.N. predicts it will not reach 9 billion for another 15 years.

So we have 8 billion people and an aging population… how far are we from population decline?
That 15 year figure is about 67 Million people born every year (!). Kind of incredible we have time for much else at that rate.

The challenge seems isolated to Asia.

Just pop some nukes. That will reduce China by about 1 billion or so.
