In the next 50 years:

USA won't change much, their distance from other countries prevent mass migration and overall the country have a good rates of childbirth for a developed country. Their economy is really solid, and even if they lose prestige and importance to China they will be a solid #2 economy 

Latin America will stagnate due to low birthrates and issues to make a demographic transition with nations getting old without getting rich first. Latam nations are likely to keep above average HDI but won't become wealthy nations. Climate changes will hit Latam terribly. Lack of infrastructure and overall warmer climate will make their economic suffer a lot (remember a big part of Latam economy is based on agriculture)

Europe will become more and more Muslim, the Muslims in few decades will become a political force and some of progressive politics in Europe are likely to be overwritten. Economies will crumble, as Europe can't keep up with Asia. Probably will become a poorer continent. Not poor, but poorer

Africa will show some progress but will keep being the poorest continent by far. Overpopulation and lack of decent infrastructure will prevent them to become developed. Just like LATAM I think Africa will be hit the hardest by climate changes, with large non productive areas and deserts, I don't see a very bright future for them...

Middle East will become an interesting case of a developed theocracy. Kinda like a dystopia. People will not have freedom and the country will keep being extremely backwards (for western POV), but the nations themselves will be mostly wealthy and people will live well there even without "freedom"

East/Southeast Asia is soon becoming the center of the world. All the futuristic things you imagine for society will be there. China is soon becoming the world largest economy and India will follow suit. Proximity with rich developed countries will prevent Japan and Korea from crumbling. SEA countries now average in development will become fully developed, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines I think all will rich high HDI. Demographic issues will also hit them, but their population is already so large they are likely to survive it better than LATAM
