Holy cow!
It's kinda scary how many people fall for the "we have too many people and we need to reduce birth rates" fallacy. Folks, reducing the birth rate will do nothing for (or; against) the population. Almost all nations on earth are already below the population replacement rate. Birth control will do nothing.
There are many things that we can consider. Like moving everyone to Mars or Pluto (not a planet), building aquatic cities and become mermaids (and mermen), using flatulent gasses as renewable energy! Many, many things!
But birth control is not the answer. The people that already exist are the problem. Not the Babies Of The Future. Even though Future Babies can be scary and I understand that you are all afraid; not letting them be born is not the solution.
Really, have a good look at [0] to understand how future babies are not the problem.
