Interesting data from the UN on population changes up to the turn of the century.
The proportion of the population over 65 is concerning. There'll make up a quarter of the total by 2100.

My guess is that the world population will probably level out at around 10 billion with around 2 billion in each 15 year segment up to 60 and 2 billion over 60, vertically stacked.
