Basically it comes down to this: It makes economic sense to have lots of kids if you are poor. As people have become more prosperous, the population growth rate has been trending steadily downward.
Population recently has slowed as the world has developed more than before 1950. Increase the rate of development and less population

You forgot this "little" caveat -- the
assumption is that IF the invaders at our border become more prosperous, then population will decrease.
And how has that been working out for China, Humpty? Shirely, there must have been a large decrease in peasanthood since the great economic and manufacturing boom in China. But while more Chinese are thriving, the population keeps growing!
