Western people already reducing their numbers. But there are other civilizations on this planet who's not going to reduce birth numbers and they'll quickly replace those who don't have kids. That's kind of social evolution. And any effective means to force other countries to reduce their birth rate are unacceptable in current morale.

Exactly. I would be okay with having only one child if everyone else did the same globally. But there's no point whatsoever if my unborn children will be just replaced by migrants from some society/culture where people have a lot of children, making room for more births in their country of origin.
