I don't think population growth is a strong indicator of demand or supply for specialized services like SWEs.
For example, automation can remove one type of labor and increase the supply for services labor, like the combustion engine w/ agriculture. Also you can have increased demand by the popularization of new software interfaces, like smart phones or AR.

Could be that Copilot achieves sentience tomorrow we hit singularity and all SWEs will be out of job. Trucking industry has been slowly automating itself, if I was a truck driver I might start looking for something else (if I was young) but at least they can see it coming.
