Uplift our poorest people:
- improve child mortality rates so they don't feel the need to have "replacement children"
- improve education so they have fewer children with their own free will
- improve their financial situations so they don't need children for labor (this isn't some evil heartless thing that poor people do btw, a lot of child labor is for sustenance farming just to maintain the bare minimum of an existence)
- improve their access to healthcare and safe birth control
