Thanks for sharing this very interesting perspective! It's actually a highly important economic topic. ☺️
I do think there's a cyclical effect to the population changes as well. You'll notice that there are times when population growth increases in rate, and other times when it slows down - then the cycle repeats again. On a larger time frame, it's more common to see lower population growth in highly developed nations with great economic stability, while nations which are underdeveloped or undergoing turmoil tend to have higher rates of population growth. Sometimes the timelines of population changes overlap with development or turmoil, as there is a reaction to ongoing changes. For instance, Russia was improving its power and economic steed in the world for a few decades, and population growth slowed down. From this point forward, it will likely be undergoing turmoil for quite a bit of time, so there's a good chance we'll see population growth increase with some lagging effect.
