Experts forecast that the population will not simply continue to rise indefinitely. It is anticipated to plateau and then decline rapidly. By 2100, 23 countries, including significant economies such as China, Spain, and Japan, are projected to experience substantial population declines. For example, Japan’s population is expected to decrease from 128 million in 2017 to just 53 million by the end of the century, representing a staggering nearly 60% reduction.
