Providing people with high standard of living lowers birth rates. It's a well established effect, every single country with high standard of living has low birthrates. Providing people with sexual education and sexual health also lowers birth rates. Educated people that have easy access to birth control will have fewer children.
Provide people with education and things they need and overpopulation is an issue that fixes itself.
That sounds like a great way to reduce the population. I don't understand why when I say that we should have less people, everyone assumes I mean like next year. Fucking generations away we will have less people. That's good. We don't have to abuse or hurt or even cajole people into it.
Because, as a general rule, people are bad at long-term thinking. Either that, or they are intentionally being obtuse.
Congratulations, now you are depleting our planet's resources even faster.
