Hans Rosling's TED@Cannes talk uses boxes and animated data graphics to show how world population will grow to about 9 billion. He argues that raising living standards for the poorest is what reduces population growth.
HN points to it as a data-driven, worldview-changing explanation of why global population will level off.

While I didn’t read the article, telling from the title this talk by Hans Rosling could be a resourceful addition to the topic: ▶ this video
Sad day. RIP. For some context: Hans is famous here for his fantastic series of TED talks which cover population growth, poverty and development. Totally changed (well, confirmed) my world view. Start here: ▶ this video
Whenever I read things like this. I am reminded of Hans Rosling's "Global population growth, box by box"[1]. The only question is, how to transition to a "steady state economy"[2][3] or "non growth economies", when population really reaches some kind of equilibrium. As growth is the only concept humans for the last tens of thousands of years knew, this transition, while absolutely necessary, will be hard and hurt lots of people I believe.

Hans Rosling seems to think we'll top out at 10 billion. ▶ this video and the main mechanism is, counter-intuitively, reducing child mortality in the poorest areas.
