That is if people who can't educate their offspring keep reproducing rapidly. If those people weren't incentivised to procreate or even disincentivised to have children, this problem could be much much smaller.
Edit: see the story about the guy being fired from his job because he wanted to attend the birth of his son which has been mentioned in another comment. This of course is a sad situation, but am I wrong to ask if it is smart to even have children in his position?
Edit2: I'm not suggesting eugenics or restricting the freedom to reproduce in any way but an education campaign.

- jiggy2011 14y agoHow do you decide who gets to procreate and who doesn't? I mean, it's difficult to judge someone's skills at parenting until after they've actually parented. Do you let people have one child upto X years old and then go through some objective evaluation with that child to decide if they are allowed to produce more?
