The population growth is actually less than you probably think it is. This is due to us reaching what is known as "peak child". The number of children in the world is expected to remain the same (around 2 billion) for the future, and the only increases to global population will come from medical advances that mean less people die and people in general live longer.
I encourage you to watch the following documentary (free) for some great explanations:

So forced redistribution of wealth and food?
What's the plan?
I mean, whether population is a problem or not, generally fewer people = less problems socioecologically.
.... Who the fuck said anything about forcing it? It mostly because of how modern economics policies set forth by organizations like the imf Have cause debt in the developing world to ballooon.
This is worth reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavily_ind..._countries
Basically the most import step to fixing this damn world is in issues like solving third world debt.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
