As many as we can fit on it i guess. Once we start colonizing other worlds the resource problem will go away.

You make good points, but my problem is how are you going to get people to have less kids? That is the critical part.

Its one thing if they choose to. Another is if the government will find some way to "punish" you if you do.

 

 

 

educate them on the risks of unprotected sex both better and younger, make sure contraception is easily available and generally encourage people to have less children

Heres the thing. The problem isnt the number of children. The problem is parents being able to afford providing for them.

So people should be encouraged to be responsbile parents. Not simply to have less kids.
