Over population doesn't seem to be the problem these days. Rapidly
ageing populations is causing countries to try to get more births.

Asia is spending big to battle low birth rates - will it work?

Falling birth rates are a major concern for some of Asia's biggest economies.
Governments in the region are spending hundreds of billions of dollars
trying to reverse the trend. Will it work?

The main concern is that they need more young workers to increase
production and support the ageing population.
(Of course, it is also difficult to fight wars with a population of
pensioners).  :)
