As well as the current declining trend in world poverty. Given all that, at least double what there is now. Probably a lot more than that.

It's probably highly dependent on consumption levels and standard of living

Although, the more likely scenario is that the population begins declining.

I feel like there could be many benefits from it, although I'm sure solid arguments can be made either way

Raw labor is not the issue. We don't need more factory workers.
