The number itself is still obviously growing, but the rate at which it grows peaked 50 years ago and has only been declining ever since.
World population is expected to naturally peak at about 11-12 billion, and then we will live in a different era of stabilization rather than rapid explosive growth. This will cause big changes to world culture as the decades pass. Like the number of homes will match the number of people, instead of constantly needing to build new ones. Food supply chains will be stable instead of growing so it will be easier to prevent catastrophes. It might actually become possible to feed all the children. It could create a golden age of prosperity naturally, just simply for supply and demand reasons. It is interesting to think about.

While we could certainly become a sustainable species, "they" don't want that.
