Overpopulation is a major problem indeed and a strong cause of the extinction of many species.

I can't believe they aren't pushing harder to change things.

For example, richer countries should fund organizations who would distribute free condoms in poorer countries.

I... don't think that would help.

The reason why poor countries have way more kids then rich countries is that in poor countries, children are an economic benefit.  While in rich countries they are an economic burdern.

Not if it's a girl :P


Nah, girl's have plenty of economic benefit, not as much as guys but still.  Cheap to feed, can be taught to do all kinds of things like mend clothes do chores.
