Wow, Jakarta just blew Tokyo out of the water! I had no idea it was that big. The rest of Asia is really dominating the top spots too. Can't wait to see how things will change by 2050.

    No matter what, I won't be around for the worst of it, but by 2050 I think population growth will stall across the board, with some countries well into depopulation. Hopefully Japan leads the way in learning how to navigate negative population growth without economic doom.
