My experience, by focus groups along the way and direct with the way, has been that women first do not want kids, then only one, and once having one, comes two, and by accident, unintentional or otherwise, three.

Human population has never been stable. Populations of animals and people rise and fall depending on what's going on, with upward pressure the constant. < It takes 2.1 children on the average per female to keep the population levels at a stable level. One child per woman would lead to a pretty serious population crash within a generation or two.>

There is no particular reason to think that the number of people alive now is just right. A population crash wouldn't be necessarily a bad thing.

If we had quarter as many people with triple the per capita quality I'd consider it a very good thing. But double the present population with 5 times the per capita quality would be even better.

There is a big shortage of good quality people. The cost of producing good people is low and their value is very high. So a lot more of them would be a very good thing since there is no shortage of places for them to live or of supplies they would need.

The human eugenics programmes are heading in that direction, slowly, but relentlessly, mercilessly and pleasingly.

A natural population crash evenly distributed is what the world needs, as food and other natural resources are getting closer to the maximum output possible.

A world population lower by 35% to 50% evenly distributed will only benefit the standard of living of future generation. An average of below 1.8 to 1.9 children per woman could easily achiev that and should be encouraged mostly in the high birth rate countries. China in a way succeeded to lower population expansion over time many lessons have been learned to apply this program humanly
