Every couple can have 2 kids and it would keep the population constant.

In fact everyone having just 2 isn't enough, it has to be slightly higher, even with modern medicine.

That would be assuming that we've not already overshot sustainable population. With every biodiversity marker pointing that we're in the middle of a mass extinction, it really does seem like that may be the case.
