That's true for most of the world with one enormous, elephant-in-the-room sized exception. The UN predicts that Africa's population will double between now and 2050 and double again from 2050 and 2100. The population of sub-Saharan Africa is projected at 4 billion by the end of the century, as opposed to 1 billion today. Nigeria will be closing in on China in population by then. So I wouldn't think that we've heard the end of immigration pressure, particularly in Europe.
