EU birthrate: 1.50
Russia birthrate: 1.50
US birthrate: 1.66
Iran birthrate: 1.70
Brazil: 1.53
Mexico: 1.63
Call stabilization at 1.575 (as it nicely works out to 75% of the replacement level of 2.10).
Then each generation will be 75% the last generation in size. A generation is ~25 years. It can rapidly reduce population like say a generation has 10 million people.
Start generation: 10 million
Generation 1: 7.5 million
Generation 2: 5.6 million
Generation 3: 4.2 million
Generation 4: 3.1 million
Generation 4 would be 1 century.
If the world was at 10 billion peak, it would then take maybe ~160 years at 1.575 birthrate to fall to 3 billion people. Then about another 160 years to fall to 1 billion. My estimate is 1-2 billion people is sustainable.
