                I takes a pretty draconian government to make that work. I don't think India has a prayer.

                    No surprises there. China has had a pretty slow population growth for a while (one child policy).

                      It did, in the last two decades. But there was absolutely no enforcement and the benefits weren't advertised well enough. It's a cultural thing to have many kids and be surrounded by family, but people unfortunately do not look at the bigger picture. :(

                                      With all the exceptions built into the system they actually have a "one and a half child" policy (1.47 for the nitpickers), before counting people sneaking around and having kids behind the govts back. China's official birthrate is 1.8; but since the official number has been flatlined at that level with zero variation for some years after decades of decline, most people think the real number is somewhat lower. Last year The Economist cited 1.6 as a likely correct value.

                                      3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

                                          well definitely forcing people to do it wouldn't work in a democracy, but there has to be some way to slow the population... that rate of growth is just ridiculous... maybe incentives for single child families?
