Projecting the Earth’s population

Sometime later this year, the Earth’s human population will exceed 6 billion. Current projections estimate that it will increase to almost 10 billion in the next 50 years. When do you think, if ever, we will see a 50% decrease in the Earth’s human population relative to current projections (for example: 5 billion actual inhabitants in 2050 vs. 10 billion projected)?
