I think it's higher than this. I think it's closer to 20%. Part of the reason is infertility. Basically the birth rate is continuing to decline and seems like it will converge to around 50% of what it was. This means that even normal mortality won't be replaced with new births. Thus, population declines by closer to 20% or 1.5B in 5 years. 0.96^5~20%
We have to wait until 2028? Dammit.
