There will be many "free" worlds, including the Moon, Mars, and 
colonies in near earth orbit.

People will be needed for practical tasks, like exploring the Galaxy. 
Once the expense of getting into orbit is reduced the race will be 
on. Evidence suggests that we will be competing with alien 
civilizations.

Current trends indicate a decrease in overall population at a time 
that precedes the breakout to space and need for more people. The 
Establishment continues to proclaim "overpopulation" as a source of 
problems, when it is their own corruption which causes poverty, etc. 
Now, why isn't this surprising? Within the last few years it has 
begun to dawn on the "aid" community that overpopulation is not the 
central problem, but this has not "trickled down" to the general 
public, who suffered years of indoctrination about overpopulation, 
resource shortages, etc.
