In the long run, if the average woman has about 2.1 children, the population will stabilize. If she has more than that, it will grow. The 2.1 accounts for people who don't make it to childbearing age and for the sex ratio at birth (more baby boys are born than baby girls because the Y sperm are lighter and a little faster than the X sperm).
In the short run, the composition of the population is important too. So, if there are many children in the population, it will take longer for the population to stabilize than if the population is older.
Also, if people have a long life span and have children at an early age, it will take longer for the population to stablize than the reverse.
All of the above is a global view. At a local or even national level, the population may grow because of immigration without any natural growth (more births than deaths).

The population is growing on account of there more births than there are deaths. As we start to live longer so the population will increase.

More people are having babies, those mothers and babies are surviving more than in years gone by, childhood illnesses that would have previously claimed children are now successfully treated, adults are living longer and longer, and so the population grows.

Think about it, the population will grow any time two people have more than two children!

Short answer: babies are being born faster than people are dying.
The long answers are scattered throughout your posting. It is a long and complex answer as to why people have babies when they can't feed them (maybe because they can't, they want to have lots to insure that some of them survive childhood?). As to the other side of that, people are being kept alive by artificial means; health care provides for assistance in living when the same person would have died years earlier in the not to distant past.

The population in the UK is not growing by much. Almost as many people leave as enter, and the birthrate is falling.

OK this is to simple, more people are being born and living longer. It's OK though that is what we do. Soon a lot more people will die not because of some event but because it is inevitable, we all will eventually die.:-(

Partly because (in the UK) we are not having the freezing weather that usually finishes off some of the coffin dodgers

improved healthcare means longer life expectancies and people are having children earlier in their lifes (for example 14yr old mothers)
