According to some sources, the world population has experienced continuous growth since the end of the Black Death around the year 1400. Current projections show an increase in population at a steady rate with the world population expected to reach between 7.5 to 10.5 billion people by the year 2050. The world population is presently estimated at around 6.9 billion people.
Hope that answers your concerns of "too many people keeling over", and possibly being out of a flying job anytime soon.

I don't know what to believe anymore. I recently read that the US birthrate is a mere 1.6 and 2.11 when you include non-legal aliens. 2.11 is the breakeven number in which the population doesn't shrink.
