And now for something completely different...

I'm not saying there's a magic cure through setting up a handful of schools. Birth rates are what they are for good economic reasons. People are making individually rational decisions that have collectively disastrous consequences. We need to change their situation, and *that is not easy*. It's not even close to easy.

The big two populations in the world are China and India. China, and India have stemmed the tide through draconian means (Old news with a historical perspective.) I'd still be more comfortable with India getting under 10 (their death rate is 8).

The interesting questions at the end of the second article are;<blockquote>"So what will it be — do we use coercion to prevent the privatized embrace of eugenics, or do we allow free individuals to give rise to a generation of superhumans? Do we sit idly by as populations collapse, or do we encourage the reversal of anti-natalist norms?"</blockquote> You might need a different strategy, country by country.

Most of Africa still has the highest birth rates, and death rates. According to this tool, the only area who's births/deaths is increasing would be Africa.
