Time for a little population control. 
No. Birth rates are falling too fast. Many countries should increase their birth rate. Especially Europe, Japan, Russia and Canada. The population explosion is a thing of the past except for parts of Africa and the Middle East.
This is a rise from 8.9 Billion, which is the last projection I remember. Thats good news.
Population stabilization is a good thing. Russia and the former Soviet bloc have a problem, but that's more of a result of disastrous economic conditions than anything else. Few other places have falling populations to the point of concern. Europe as a continent can't really handle many more people than it has now, anyway; Europe is the least fertile inhabitable continent save desert-filled Australia.
India will have the upper hand in terms of manufacturing for a while, but their ballooning population will soon become so great that the government can no longer effectively provide services. Rapid population growth is no longer the benefit it was during the Industrial Revolution.
