Most developed nations are actually have a declining population, because the younger generation no longer wants 3 or 4 kids. They want 1 or 2 kids. Now that doesn't mean that every developed nation is declining in population, usually just specific ethnic groups with in the country. Germany is a great example, ethnic Germans are declining while their immigrant population is growing. A lot of the developing nations are where the population boom is happening, like China and Indian. Those two countries combine make up about 1/3 or more of the worlds population, if you include the Pakistan and Bangledash you get almost 3 billion people. That's a lot of people.
A good book to read about the population problem is a fictional work by Dan Brown, Dante's Inferno. The whole book is about controlling the world population because by the 22nd century, the world will be unable to sustain the human population. It is fictional but he does research his books so they do have some basis on fact. It's an interesting read that gets you thinking about what will happen if we can't curtail our own growth.
