I'm not so sure about the forecast for future population or economic growth (I certainly wouldn't trust any model that tries to predict anything more than a century down the road), but you're right, in Western nations (excluding the US), the population has essentially already peaked. As well, in many developing countries population growth is slowing. Indeed, human population needs to level off soon for various reasons, not the least of which is livable space.

But a shrinking (and necessarily aging population) is a problem for any economy, regardless of the system. Europe's socialist economies are being strained by the fact that they fewer younger and working people to contribute to their tax revenue.
