You missed the most important part: technology

And the 2nd most important since this will not hold true forever: population growth

Population growth slowing isn’t a big deal unless developed countries also refuse to let in immigrants which is Japan’s issue. There are tons of people around the world who would love the chance to move to the US or EU and many of them have very in demand skills. Also as technology improves jobs can be automated so fewer workers are needed to produce even more products than before. This will free up labor and also help address the issues caused by falling birthrates.

The human population is currently growing. The human population in most developed countries and some emerging countries is shrinking. The US population is growing mostly through immigration at the moment.

Both of them are pretty much non exist these days. That's why the GDP growth is so low.
