Up until now it has been growing. What you call "peak in the next decades" are just UN projections.
And that position can still be reassessed in the next 30 years.
I am still not convinced that a globally aging population is a big issue in the long term.

The African demographic boom, even if we didn't have our own fertility problem, will ensure there will be no back to "normal". History is never about going back to normal
- lm28469 3y agoIt mostly depends on what you care about. If you care about excel sheets and mathematical formulas then of course none of it matters in the long term If you care about quality of life, employment, pensions, shortages, smooth transitions, immigration, it's a whole other story
