If world population is getting older, will we eventually stop increasing and reach a plateau?
That makes sense. But what about countries with declining birth rates like Japan?
Yes, Japan is a good example of a country with very low birth rates and a rapidly aging population. However, even there, the population is not projected to stop growing completely until around 2045 before it starts declining. So, while aging populations may lead to slower population growth, it's unlikely to lead to a plateau in the near future.
