As far as [[secular Europe]], in 2014, the Pew Research Forum indicated that Europe will go from 11% of the world's population to 7% of the world's population by 2050.<ref name="PewProj">Kochhar, Rakesh (February 3, 2014).  [http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/02/03/10-projections-for-the-global-population-in-2050/ "10 projections for the global population in 2050"].  FactTank/Pew Research Center website.</ref> The cause of this matter is the sub-replacement level of secular Europeans and the higher fertility rates of religious countries in the world.  

 

Giuseppe Carone and Declan Costello of the [[International Monetary Fund]] projected in September of 2006 that the ratio of retirees to workers in Europe will double to 0.54 by 2050 (from four workers per retiree to two workers per retiree).<ref name=a/><ref name=c>{{cite web|url=http://goldsea.com/Asiagate/607/17europe.html|title=Europe's Aging Population Faces Social Problems Similar to Japan's|publisher=Goldsea Asian American Daily|accessdate=15 December 2007}}</ref>

However, within secular Europe, there are religious sub-populations seeing significant growth which along with religious immigrants will cause a desecularization of Europe sometime in the 21st century (see: [[European atheism and 21st century decline]]).
