Wikipedia on overpopulation:

Quote:
The world's human population is currently growing by more than 75 million people per year. This is down from a peak numerical growth of about 88 million per year in the late 1980s. About half the world lives in nations with sub-replacement fertility, and population growth in those countries is due to immigration.

Population projections
According to projections by the Population Division of the United Nations revised in 2004, the population of the world will stabilize at 9.1 billion by 2050 due to demographic transition. The UN has consistently revised its population projections downwards over the last 10 years. Birth rates are now falling in most developing countries, while the population in many developed countries would also fall without immigration.
