Answer:
A long-term population decline is typically caused by sub-replacement fertility, coupled with a net immigration rate that fails to compensate the excess of deaths over births. A long-term decline is accompanied by population aging and creates an increase in the ratio of retirees to workers and children.

A population decline (or depopulation) in humans is a reduction in a human population caused by short term events such as pandemics, wars, famines or other catastrophes, or by long-term demographic trends, as in sub-replacement fertility rate, or persistent emigration.
Even though short-term population shocks have caused terrible loss of life and human misery, sometimes lasting several centuries, over the long-term, stretching from prehistory to the present, this planet’s human population has continued to grow. However, current events suggest that this long-term trend may be coming to an end. Up until the beginning of the industrial revolution, global population grew very slowly. After about 1800 the growth rate accelerated to a peak of 2.1% annually in 1962; but since then, due to the world-wide collapse of the total fertility rate, it has declined to 1.1% today (2020). Long-term projections predict that the growth rate of the human population of this planet will continue to decline, and that by the end of the 21st Century, will reach zero
An example of this emerging trend is Japan, whose population is currently (2015-2020) declining at the rate of 0.2% per year. By 2050, Europe’s population is projected to be declining at the rate of 0.3% per year.
Possible consequences of long-term national population decline can be positive or negative. If a country can increase its workforce productivity faster than its population is declining, the results, both in terms of its economy, the quality-of-life of its citizens, and the environment, can be positive. If it cannot increase workforce productivity faster than its population’s decline, the results can be mostly negative.
National efforts to confront population decline to-date have been focused on the possible negative economic consequences and have been centered around increasing the size of the nation’s workforce and the productivity of its workers.
