I think you missed the most important one. Each couple should have no more than X children.
Half the reason we have what we have today is fighting over finite natural resources. You eliminate the pressure of overpopulation, you eliminate a massive reason to fight in the first place.
- schoen 11y agoI read someone's demographic observation that children are an asset in rural areas and a liability in urban areas. It's not clear that you could easily convince small-scale rural farmers in an area that wasn't affected by human population pressures that having lots of kids was a bad idea for the future. (At best, they might say "OK, when there are so many people that they're crammed together in cities, maybe it will be possible for the people of the future to want to have smaller families".)
