This video presents more recent statistical data to show that if present trends continue that the Earth's population will level out at ~11 billion. This is mainly due to the fact that as living conditions continue to rise around the world that people generally prefer to have fewer children. Lower infant and child mortality means that there is more likely surviving children to look after aging parents, so why incur the costs of more mouths to feed? Developing country family incomes can then be concentrated on enabling the greater success of the fewer children, and on obtaining technological efficiencies that further leverage economic advancement.
The stats are presented with dynamic holograms and other interesting ways.
