  The obvious method would be to have more children.

    You obviously didn't read the starting article.

    Biology puts some limits on that. Fertility of women goes down in the fourth decade of life. The # of aneuploid ova rises sharply. It is possible that there will be scientific development solving that, but so far, we do not have enough young fertile people to practice your obvious method, unless they were ready to have 4+ kids each.

      in vitro fertilization is the development you are looking for, and exists for those who can afford it.

        I know quite a lot about IVF, we are currently going through it. For IVF to work, you need good ova (eggs). You can stimulate the woman to harvest eggs, but in women over 35, the share of ova that have unrecoverable genetic errors (aneuploidy) grows fast and women over 40 hardly have any good eggs. This might be amenable to future therapies, given that old mice were currently medicated with NMN (a NAD+ precursor) and produced many more good eggs compared to the control group. But as of today, this is the hardest biological limit on IVF efficiency.

          You can select for the good ova, but it's true that you are best off freezing eggs and sperm when you are young.

        Being able to have kids at 40 does not change the fact that you will still have only 20-30 years left to spend on them.

  A hard reset through a conflict aka war (and war preparation) on some scale has historically been used to reboot economies. Should Things get bad enough economically it'll happen again.
