  You can't really convince people to plateau their procreation activities so that fertility rates stay perfectly balanced over time. Fertility is always ciclic. It either goes up when times are good, and goes down when times are bad. And good times don't last forever.

      Wait for the next world war/big crash.

        But there were plenty of other major wars and crashes. That brief boom phase only appeared after WW2. It seems fairly safe to say it was an aberration.
