Ways to reduce family size

There are several ways of reducing family size rather than imposing legislation as it's done in China:

• Provide education
• Promote alternative "family methods"
• Make contraception available
• Improve health availability
• Improve standards of living
• Improve economic conditions
• Provide nutrition
• Have a wider resource distribution

Some of these methods might be difficult to achieve in general but are the ways in which MEDCs have managed to reduce family size considerably. LEDCs should take these considerations in their development route.
