so we are close to reverse maybe it happens and it is slow and gradual without a big issue at all.

There are countries where there is negative growth rate but if you see countries specially in South Asia (Pakistan, India and Bangladesh) population is continuously increasing and same pattern is observed in African countries.
If developed Countries in West continuous to have slow growth rate then it will bring opportunity for population in Asia and Africa to migrate to these regions. Like Canada is a land where there are huge immigrants from rest of the world because of low local population.

Immigrants go to western countries because of economic benefits and the quality of life there. Not because the destination country has a low birth rate Roll Eyes

The migration from under-developed countries with low education is mostly a bad deal, economically and societal, for the receiving country.
