[Sci-fi] Plausible scenarios for the evacuation of Earth at TL10-11

I have modeled the scenario of evacuating everyone physically using fusion rockets and it takes around 20 years for a population of 10 billion (anything more rapid and you cause such severe economic and environmental trauma that you would not be able to evacuate everyone). You actually need to start with young women, as you want them to have their children in space rather than on Earth, so you do not have to transport the children into space. You wait till later in the process for the elderly, as few people over the age of 70 are healthy enough to survive liftoff.
