Poll: What will be the population crash bottom once we are past the next peak (predicted peak global population is 9b around 2064, but assume whatever)? Only bottom before next secular upswing is of interest in this poll, not timing of bottom. Ignore hard crash vs slow decline.

With natality decline you would expect quite a huge drop. Depends on if the children of one-childs are born before the grandparents die, and how many of them. If the world continues trending towards 1 child per woman, expect a halving roughly every 80-100 years
