Road design, safety and Vision Zero

There was a paper published a few years ago showing that increasingly strict car seat requirements in the States have been a significant drag on the number of families that have a third child.

That's one way to reduce the global population (Given that 2.1 children per couple is the generally accepted replacement birth rate level)

I mean, 2.1 children per couple is the target average for stable population.

But 2.1 children per couple means many families with 3, 4, even 5 children will not be unusual. Just as there are many many childless couples.

So yeah, policies which make it hard to have more than 2 kids will mean significant downward pressure on population.
