A better approach, Gibbs suggests, would be people having fewer children. “Infinite growth on a finite planet is suicide,” he says.

What’s causing birth rates to plummet?

More than anything else, urbanization. Once people move from the farm into the city, children stop being an asset, hands to work the field, and start being a liability, just another mouth to feed. With urbanization comes improved education for women. When women get education and autonomy, they stop having so many babies. We interviewed women at a dinner party in Belgium, a university in Seoul, a favela in São Paulo, a slum in Delhi. We discovered an amazing commonality: women want control over their futures, and that involves having fewer children than their parents did.
