I have some problems with this sentence:
"However, there could have been a steady increase in the number of this age level."
The increase is relevant to a time in the future (2050). I think "could have been" is a structure that can be used for describing a possibility in the past. Could you cast light on this problem?

'could have been' means there are possible present situations that have not happened. (Possible in Present)

So, this is more accurate:
However, there will be a steady increase in the number of this age level.
