A comprehensive study conducted by the Institute For Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in the United States (US) forecasts a global shift toward a declining population by the end of this century. Published in The Lancet journal on Wednesday, the study claimed that fertility rates in half of all countries are insufficient to sustain current population sizes. The study also projected that by 2050, three-quarters of all countries will witness a population reduction.
