The birth rate has declined in every country as that country has developed a modern economy.

Only parts of Africa and a few muslim countries have what would be considered a high birth rate today and even those are falling every year. Saudi Arabia, for example, is down to 4 children per woman versus 7 just a decade ago.

The world population is estimate to peak out at 8.6 billion (not 10) which is not much higher than today’s 6.6 billion.
