The first step has to be to stop population growth. That's pretty much
happened
in all the OECD nations, except the U.S. and it would be the case there

except for immigration from the south. How to stop population growth:
*educate
women* so they can lead meaningful lives aside from bearing children
and provide
readily available birth control; and get rid of Catholicism, Mormonism,
and any
other religion preaches against birth control.
That is exactly how to stop population growth. Wherever women are given
equal rights
the birth rate drops dramatically (if they are forced to choose between
children and
a career, it drops precipitously - the places that get the balance right
allow you
to do both).
The rates aren't just stable in OECD nations, they are negative. It seems given the
choice and long enough time frames the human population will drop to zero. (this of
course ignores future trends such as technical solutions to ageing and the technological
singularity, but it is an interesting observation of human nature.)
Maybe human nature responds to perceived crowding.
