The problem is not overpopulation but class/caste and poverty. In China also people go by train and they don't hang on the outside (while having a ticket). India is a deeply unjust and divided country and the upperclasses/castes don't care for the problems of the poor.

And you think it's a good idea to fuel the capitalist machine with ever new victims, cheap labour or - in case of our societies - (cheap) labour and consumers? Btw, in China there are also millions of extremely poor people (eg migrant workers) who can't even afford a train ticket

Children are your retirement when you are poor. If you alleviate the material problems of the people, they are going to make less children. Western societies are the best proof for this. Also: If you take all humans on this planet and put them next to each other they will cover

the space of Saarland or 1/10th of the space of the state of Vermont. When you put them above each other you can put all of humanity in a cube with a side of 20km. The overpopulation-idea is really silly.

Indirect consumption, not only the space we need for living is the key here...and westeners' indirect consumption is obscene, especially of the ones who eat animal derived products and travel a lot by plane. 1 child here equals 10 or more children in poor countries.
