All countries eventually end up as Japan. India and Africa will race to be last. China is already somewhere between 1.1 and 1.3 total fertility rate. Sustained sub replacement rates (<2.1 fertility rate) locks in population momentum.

This is important because age of labor and consumers directly influences macro economic conditions, which trickles down to investment returns.

The end of history has not been reached. Just because we haven't seen it yet doesn't mean fertility trends won't reverse in certain places at some point. Governments have by no means exhausted their means to effect such a change, for example.

On the world scale maybe, but the USA is still one of the most desirable places to immigrate to. So while some countries will be abandoned, the US can just increase immigration which creates the necessary future demand for assets.
