In a pretty abstract sense, yes, and it gives me peace.

The US baby boom is not really meaningful on a global scale

Baby boomers also had more kids than the generation that preceded them. So did Gen X. Millennials are the first to fail to even replace their own population.

Even at constant population or even mildly declining, you would expect the young to outnumber the old by a bit. Given people die on the way to getting old and die whole being old more than the young die.

They may be even fewer than when the currently old folks when they were young but still be expected to outnumber the old

Its really only Africa that bucks the trend if you Iook region by region.

well 1 out of 23 humans checking to see if random internet claims are true is better odds than i expected, well done sir

If you select North America and slide the slider between 2050 and 2080 it looks like a face opening their mouth and screaming.

While I half agree with you, that's definitely not the only issue.

Senior citizens become people to take care of, that won't/can't work and I don't mean that in a "dear God consider the GDP" way, but literally just people who will not be contributing but still require services, in fact likely a lot more than normal.

It ends up being a lot of neglected senior citizens dying in horrible ways.

Since more people in the world are in China and India you are probably wrong about it being the Bible. It is religious texts that encourage more reproduction for religious spreading to the masses and China just has more landmass so more people overall

Just for clarification, if we're talking about sub replacement fertility rates then it would be "brown countries" except for India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Iran, Lebanon, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica and Cuba and more. Might be an invalid generalization now.

The issue is we don’t just go straight from point A to B, rather there’s a long period of suffering.

Yes people live a little longer. but the main average that skews average life expectancy/longevity numbers is today fewer babies and mothers die during and post birth.
