I wouldn't bet on Sweden in 2050, they're heading for a demographic collapse.

  What makes you think so? Their projections seem to disagree: https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/population/population-projections/population-projections/pong/tables-and-graphs/population-by-sex-and-country-of-birth-and-projection/ https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subje...

    Demographic collapse refers to population structure (number of people of each age), not total population. To take an exaggerated example to show the problem: imagine one 25 year old and 10 million 80 year olds. That society is obviously going to have huge problems. Most Western populations are trending that way (obviously much less exaggerated)
