It worked for china.
Generally speaking, West Taiwan also has a rather anti-female culture that also contributed to that "success." When a "success" limits reproductive rights, it's not a success. I still stand by my previous suggestion. Pushing to remove the stigma around safe sex education and contraceptives, while making both frees would most likely see far greater results. No one wants their ability to smash to be limited or removed, thus making it safer to smash is a far better option

Even if physical intercourse could be prohibited. There's always masturbation... ✊😏

We could just discourage people from having a fuck ton of kids and teach proper sex education.
It worked really well in the 90's when I grew up, so what happened to that? Everyone now is just out there raw-doggin it and getting preggo in wild numbers now.

For a sustainable future to be a possibility, and even then only until humanity's population return to the same amounts as of today, half of the population would need to be erradicated, doubling the available resources for the remnants.

This theory poses many issues, ethically speaking, being the main ones and economical the other ones. Most wealthy people will seek for a chance to survive at any cost, which means that not just half of the population would be erradicated but even more. Also, most capable humans would need to survive (mainly, those that can provide solutions for the wellbeing of altogether).

We can continue developing many more theories, and most -if not all- of them won't have a nice conclusion.

Well most of the high pop growth is in poor developing nations in africa, asia and latam. Maybe if we taught them contraceptives and sex education, the population would plateau and decrease earlier, freeing up resources in these dense regions.

This has been attempted for decades with sex education, and the handing out of contraceptives and condoms by charities and missionaries.

But the only method that seems to universally work is raising the standard the living for a group of people. Once you are stable and your children aren't at the risk of starvation or common death of childhood illness a population's birth rate has so far been shown to turn negative. Developed countries counteract this with immigration, but we don't really have many data points to see if an equilibrium would take place without it.

Japan with its very restrictive immigration is an outlier and is very an extremely aging population. It will be very interesting to see what the country looks like in 20-30 years if major changes aren't enacted.

But first, we would need to satisfy their primary needs: food, health, education, a home, happiness. Then they might have any interest on birth control.

Having some level of school education, help us see the world in a very diferent way, full of possibilities and chances, but the vast majority of the "non-wealthy" has other priorities, such as having something to eat on a given day, a healthy body, some spare time to enjoy (something that way too many people don't even know about).
