The population has grown 4 times everywhere but in Europe and US since 1950 and it keeps growing. The problems with the land and resource use would be much smaller if the population had stayed more or less constant everywhere. I am also certain that people would have been better of everywhere when the resources of the families would not have been put into bettering the well being of the households instead of maintaining the army of children. This problem is political and is governed by religious powers and cultural inertia.
