With exceptions in cases like when a couple loses a child

Edit: in a scenario where everything is good. No wars, no famine.

The current trend on world population has us hitting 10.3 billion in 2080, and then it starts to recede. The idea of an overpopulated world comes from a book written in 1968 called “The Population Bomb”. The actual problem we’re facing in the west is a rapidly aging population, and birth rates that are falling off a cliff.

    There's no such thing as rapidly aging, there's exactly one year per year, we don't age any faster nor slower. Declining birth rate, sure, but no such thing as rapidly aging.
