The anti-natalism movement has it right IMHO. If we voluntarily limit birth to far less than replacement, overpopulation would correct itself in as little as a generation. But we won't do that, we're not wired that way. Instead, we'll keep chugging along past the carrying capacity of the biosphere and Gaia will correct our population for us, abruptly.

I'm will absolutely concede that it may work and we should try anyway. But correlation != causality.

That's also an argument against your point about war, disease, and famine.

When you put a sword through someone, causality is not in doubt.
All trends show that the countries with low levels of poverty, high levels of education and women equality results in fewer births.
Women are able to have careers and want to finish their education and get work experience before they think of children. In countries like Scandinavia, the average age of first time mothers are increasing year by year. We also see that cities within the country with a lot of highly educated jobs have a higher age than others
