Yeah, but birth rates have fallen below replacement in huge swaths of the world. And Pakistan is the only country outside of Africa that has fertility rates above 3 children per women. Which means that, if the demographic transition continues, the entire world except for Africa will be at below replacement fertility in several decades. Population can continue growing for a while after birth rates fall below replacement, but the writing is on the wall: if Africa can modernize, then the world population will start declining. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-replacement_fertility#/media/File:Countriesbyfertilityrate.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-replacement_fertility#/med...
