The solution is well understood: universal education and readily available birth control. It's already working in the more developed economies.

- forgetfreeman 3y agoThat this is a solution remains to be seen. Does this result in net negative population growth? The evidence seems to suggest it does. Will it result in a sharp enough decline in total population numbers fast enough to mean anything? That seems unlikely.
- mdekkers 3y agoAbsolutely. Now all we need is politicians and their constituents around the globe to get on board with this. Again with the George Carlin quotes though (watch the clip “it’s a big club”) most governments are not _that_ interested in a deeply educated general population, _or_ birth control. Where are we going to get all of our obedient little workers from? So not holding my breath :)
