Lower birth rates is one thing, but lets sort out the fucking inequality first. People have more children in Africa, because they expect to loose some and because they will help out (be economically active). Both those could be solved by better distribution of wealth, an an accompanying does of education.

A child born in the west will consume vast amounts more resources than multiple children born in poverty.

Addressing inequity is precisely the strategy to reducing population growth.

Empowering women, with education, economic freedom, and reproductive choice, is the Correct Answer.

Fortunately, much progress has been made and will continue.
