Africa also has a birthrate that isn't sustainable as well. But for the most part, the world has finally gotten use to the fact that breeding like rats isn't a good solution. I doubt we'll reach 10 billion within our lifetimes at the rate we're going, which is certainly for the best.

Unless there is a global health epidemic like the flu of 1918 and or numerous famines we will easily reach a population rate of over 10 billion in our lifetimes (next 40 years).  I sure hope that once we get past the 10 billion mark the population growth slows down dramatically and eventually declines.
