To be precise, population growth is decreasing, but the absolute population is growing. Particularly a problem in Africa and parts of Asia. The issue is that the land is already having trouble supporting the current population. If population stops growing 20 years from now settling at double today's population, these countries will have serious problems. Also, keep in mind that much of the underdeveloped world has lots of room for improvement in life expectancy. This agravates population problems further
