Or government could let people decide how many children they want to have and let them pay for their kids. It will automatically solve the problem in the long run. Governments trying to control it will lead to problems like they have in China (because having children was largely de-incentivised, they are going to have a big hole in the working population soon and have a lot of old people to support) and Europe (because they are incentivising population growth now, they are bound to increase a generation of population burst which will be a problem in the long run).

Perhaps if governments made more effort on birth control so people were more likely to control and decide rather than react to accidents and impulses. I imagine that far too often people have more children than they can afford and their attention is stretched too thin.
