I don't have time to effort-post this right now, but Thomas Piketty talks about population growth rate declines at length in Capital in the 21st Century. If UN estimates for future population growth and economic growth hold true, then the 21st century will largely see a decline to stabilization at low levels of both population growth and economic growth for most areas in the world. He points out that Europe has essentially already entered this steady state, and that America is likely not far behind. The consequence of this lower level of growth (population + economic) will be increased wealth inequality. I know it sounds funny, because it is already absurdly unequal, but it will get worse if the predicted growth rates are accurate.
