The United Nations reports:
The global population reached nearly 8.2 billion by mid-2024 and is expected to grow by another two billion over the next 60 years, peaking at around 10.3 billion in the mid-2080s. ...In short, White are being exterminated, and replaced with non-whites.Meanwhile, nearly a fifth of all countries and areas, including China, Italy, the Republic of Korea and Spain, now have “ultra-low fertility”, with fewer than 1.4 live births per woman over a lifetime. Reaching the peak
As of 2024, population size has peaked in 63 countries and areas, including China, Germany, Japan and the Russian Federation, and the total population of this group is projected to decline by 14 per cent over the next thirty years. ...
While the slow growth or decline of populations is occurring mainly in high-income countries, rapid population growth will occur in low-income and lower-middle-income countries.
Specifically, Angola, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, and Somalia, very rapid growth is projected, with their total population doubling between 2024 and 2054.
This population growth will increase demand for resources, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and, combined with poorly managed urbanisation and rising living standards, it will worsen environmental impacts.

The simple equation is this:
Population (or sheer numbers of people) does not equate wealth or prosperity.
Group #1
If your population is productive (high effort), they can support themselves and pay for luxuries like art, music, costly medicine, expensive entertainment, expensive and time consuming legal systems, and large amounts of charity.
Group #2
If your population is not productive (low effort), they consume far more than they will ever produce, and they can not afford creature comforts without becoming an even larger burden on whoever is paying their bills, namely Group #1.
Group #2 is growing in size faster than Group#1. Being that America is a country where just being counted as a warm body now entitles one to someone else's wealth, it has become the old joke: Democracy, where two wolves and lamb vote what they want for lunch. This is not unexpected, and the founding fathers did fret to considerable extent over its inevitability.
"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
