The problem with the "natural" approach is that then you have to deal with 1) natural increase in life expectancy, and 2) immigration.
Because of this, most European countries are still growing, albeit slowly. Japan has all but removed factor 2 and so its population is overall stable, but they're experiencing a slow shrinking of their working population (which brings a lot of economic problems).
