You could give people some kind of vaccine, a mandatory mass vaccination with some stuff in it that makes people sterile :)

Overpopulation is a greater problem than depopulation. Population growth cannot continue forever - at some point as the population grows something's got to give. The sooner a population stabilizes, the better. If we don't stabilize it, as China is trying to do, the environment will do it for us via famine.

What happens if they DON'T grow rich?

[mizutofu]

nothing. if they are not rich then they are not rich. Grow rich then experience a massive contraction because of aging population is worse and more painful then not getting rich.

Great points. This video makes apparent the wonderful implementation of statistics in controlling our future, and making informed decisions now.

Depopulation is a considerable danger. Not as great as war, ecological collapse, or some sort of disaster event, but it could create significant trouble at some point in the future.
