Look at a population pyramid.

This site has done nice animated options: https://chartingtheglobe.com/demographics/population-pyramid

If you want to see more regional overviews, then the CIA also has some nice selections here:

The main issue is that the population is getting older. Not enough new borns to pay taxes to care for the old people in twenty years. This can only be solved by immigration from countries with higher birthrates.

There's enough time in between now and then it's possible the worst will have passed and we'll be putting things back together.

This is my hope. I got kids, man. This has to be the outcome.

It doesn't have to be, but it can be. I'm in the same boat, and I'm working hard at the local politics level to try to build a better world for them.
