By 2050, demographically, the USA population will be over 400 million and it will be one of the youngest populations in the world.
It will, however, get a bit older between now and then, particularly around 2030.
Racially homogenous societies like Japan that have little immigration are shrinking.
China's population will begin to age and shrink dramatically by 2030 through 2050.
Europe will lose about a third of its population, assuming immigration doesn't fill the gap.
Older, aging populations will probably reside in Muslim countries by 2050 when America is demographically turning young and vibrant again.
