The UN has underpredicted African population growth for decades and they have been predicting that low fertility populations like East Asians will bounce back to replacement too. Still hasn’t happened. Getting things wrong over and over again does not qualify as an accurate prediction. Getting things wrong, over and over again, the same way each time is embarrassing.

Between 2017 and 2050, the populations of 26 African countries are projected to expand to at least double their current size."
