Generally speaking: reduce child mortality (better health care), urbanize/industrialize, educate women.

Every country that has done with over the last ~200 years has seen a drop in fertility rates.

Absolutely! We have been doing so for the last 20 years. Reducing child mortality at the fastest rate in East Africa. Women education is one of our top achievement from those years. Urbanization and industrialization is the only thing that's coming slow.

Life is still not so expensive for the families (essentially men) are still having more babies than they can afford to nurture!

It's a pity to watch.
