I've read studies that suggest it will level out at around 10 billion by the middle of this century then begin to decline. To understand this you only have to look at nation specific fertility rates. Many (or is it most?) developed nations rates are actually decreasing. As the developing world "develops" and becomes more urbanised, more educated and less religious I think we may see similar statistics there.

Yeah, but only put it in the brands that the poor drink of course.
The way to reduce the human population is to increase the mean standard of living. You can find a plethora of data on this at gapminder.com.

Yup, Gapminder is the Daddy!
Also; education, education, education! Educating woman + better access to basic healthcare = reduced birth rates.

Ah, but what authority would endorse an individual's credentials and grant them a right to reproduce, and on what basis could such a judgement take place?
