In response to Overpopulation is pushing Earth past breaking point

Stop harping on about overpopulation

Other than unethical practices such as forced contraception and forced abortion, I can think of only two ways of addressing growing populations in developing countries. First using foreign aid to help educate girls and women, and second women leaving high population countries, and following the birth rate of their adopted country. Are there other solutions?

I get tired of people complaining of overpopulation without having the faintest idea of how a reduction can (ethically) be achieved.
