Aggressive population control should be given high priority, yet declining population growth and fertility rates are always depicted as negatives in Western countries. In Europe many countries still have incentives to boost fertility.

It's high time we give up on the fantasy of an ever growing population as a ponzi scheme to boost the economy and finance public spending. We need to face the reality that we ought to have at the very least a stable population and reorganise society accordingly.

In relation to developing countries, any healthcare-related aid should be conditional to implementation of birth control policies.

Globally we really should have a target to reduce population by a few billions if we want to all enjoy life in comfort (~Western country level) on a thriving planet.

Edit: Judging by the reactions, the penny has not dropped yet for some... Hopefully it will before it's too late.
