    I think that education can go miles in terms of helping with this. But the problem is people will still want kids. I don't have kids and am not planning a family. And I'm old enough to have done so; just haven't bit... For me it isn't practical, but there are plenty who feel the tug.

    I remember studying about Population and the Environment in Sociology 2: Social Problems. Here is what it said about the different perspectives. A note on that... Those with conservative leanings may find themselves aligning with Functionalist perspectives and those who find they are more liberal may align with Conflict Theory. I don't know where to stand, but the other perspective is Symbolic Interactionism; which typically looks at a problem on the level of individuals interacting face to face - relationships among individuals. Okay! Here is an excerpt from Social Problems: Continuity & Change! :)

    15.1 Sociological Perspectives on Population and the Environment – Social Problems links to book...

    I think that in today's society, financial constraints are limiting the size of families.
    Sadly, their are still people having children without a proper home and any thoughts of how they are going to support them for the next 18+ years.

    Financial constraints, but also the awareness of what it costs in all aspects (not just financial). It makes a lot of sense in current day and age to limit the amount of kids to two or three, instead of the common 8 or 9 our grandparents had.

    So true, We are still supporting our daughter who is in her mid 30's, both financially in buying a house in London, along with renovating it, getting married and taking care of things (particularly her dog), while she is working as a police officer in these troubled times. Perhaps the worse part was her depressed state during the 8 months that she was at Grenfel tower following that dreadful fire.

    PS, I am an only child, while Jane is one of fourteen siblings from a remote part of Ireland..
    PPS, I am about to become a grandfather. :yum::yum::yum:

    There's more to it than that. Not is it not cost effective for a family, but also creates a burden on society.
    As an aside, I know someone who is a single mother, and has a 20yr. old daughter(single) who is having a kid.
    I asked the mother if her daughter was going to marry the father. She said no, the father was out of the picture.
    So, who ultimately pays for the cost of raising the kid? Yeah I know, it's a rhetorical question.

    The trend in wealthy countries is for people to willingly limit the number of children they have. One way to control the population, therefore, is to support policies that increase the spendable income of average citizens, something 'social engineers' don't always seem to understand.

     :grin::grin: Okay I'll just say it but, I don't think families need to be having more children. I'm not even convinced with the population increases with each generation that we can even look after them. I mean we can't even live on the earth right now without destroying it at the same time and babies are being born less than a second each <second of the day and they'll probably want kids too. It's mess up and that's all gonna come down to I mean like in 100 years time our expansion into land is going to have to happen, we're gonna levelling the earth even more, destroying even more natural habitats. Unless we move into a direction like Futurama soon right now, I am just not convinced.
