What is this article? Population is not really expected to decline in the next 40 years, barring massive sudden and unexpected events.

Yes, will population decline as it has started to in some of the most wealthy nations? Yes, but that is much different than the overall world population descending.

Yup. Peak world population projected as 10.4 billion in the 2080’s. https://reliefweb.int/report/world/world-population-reach-8-billion-15-november-2022-enarzh

I'll say the quiet part out loud: it's not the population that is in decline, it's the average IQ
