Well here goes, my effort to see the population stops growing
Reward, pay those who have only the required number of kids, do not pay those who have more
No easy task, for instance what if kids, in huge numbers, are boys?
We have just started to see the very true shortage of wives in some countrys
No easy task but constant forever growth in population is a huge problem down the track

Dear Belly,

«pay those who have only the required number of kids»

Which is 0!

But if the need for more kids is specific to Australia, then there are about a billion of impoverished and malnourished kids around the globe: adopting some of them would not require polluting the world with more humans.

Yuyutsu the thread was mine, it proposes the world [in some parts] is already over populated
It asks are we going to set a limit, or just convince our selves never ending growth is possible
Too put a case, the world population, before much time passes, will be seen as every bit as important as climate change

Dear Belly,

Thank you for this thread.

Overpopulation is our biggest problem, throughout the world, not only in parts of it. No other problem can be effectively addressed without first looking at the monster in the room.

Are we going to set a limit? But that limit was exceeded long ago. We should re-establish that limit at 200 million people and have no new babies until human population is back within this limit.

Well thank you Yuyutsu
Yes agree while others do not it remains my view fewer people could lead to a better life for every one
Not sure how we do it but we will in time
The tragic deaths, a blimp on the whole issue of world wide migration/refugees, highlights the standard of living in some countrys is not good
Too no doubt in my mind, we will see this problem grow
