Assuming birthrate drastically falls to 1.85 down from 2.83 in 2000.

Just a correction there. 1.85 isn't the fertility rate they're predicting. They say that if it falls to 1.85, the population will actually shrink to 2.3 billion. I don't think the article actually says what fertility rate they're predicting, but it would be somewhere between 1.85 and 2.35.
