Why do you think the western world is in a stable decline? You mean in terms of population? The Chinese population is also declining. So i'm curious why you think the ratio is skewed, my impression is China is going to shrink more, faster, based on their current demographic trajectories.

It's actually India, Brazil and many African countries that are growing hard.

I don't know about India or Africa, but births peaked in Brazil by 2012.

By stable I think GP meant resistant to measures that governments take to purposely increase birthrates, like slightly better childcare benefits.
