It's been said before countless times in this thread. I'll say it again. It'll start with anyone who makes the suggestion. They better step up or step off!

Fair enough. I could do without people who put ketchup on their scrambled eggs. How's that for nauseating?
II. B. 3. Expanding Wage Employment Opportunities, Especially for Women
The status and utilization of women in LDC societies is particularly important in reducing family size. For women, employment outside the home offers an alternative to early marriage and childbearing, and an incentive to have fewer children after marriage. The woman who must stay home to take care of her children must forego the income she could earn outside the home. Research indicates that female wage employment outside the home is related to fertility reduction. Programs to increase the women's labor force participation must, however, take account of the overall demand for labor; this would be a particular problem in occupations where there is already widespread unemployment among males. But other occupations where women have a comparative advantage can be encouraged.
His plan was for genocide
Yup. That's genocide all right.
Recommendations
1. Integrated basic education (including applied literacy) and family planning programs should be developed whenever they appear to be effective, of high priority, and acceptable to the individual country. AID should continue its emphasis on basic education, for women as well as men.
2. A major effort should be made in LDCs seeking to reduce birth rates to assure at least an elementary school education for virtually all children, girls as well as boys, as soon as the country can afford it (which would be quite soon for all but the poorest countries). Simplified, practical education programs should be developed. These programs should, where feasible, include specific curricula to motivate the next generation toward a two-child family average to assure that level of fertility in two or three decades. AID should encourage and respond to requests for assistance in extending basic education and in introducing family planning into curricula. Expenditures for such emphasis on increased practical education should come from general AID funds, not population fund
That isn't what it says.
Feminine rights is really to stop women having children.
Reading is good. You should try it some time. No culling, it's about reducing birth rates. And it's about how one of most effective ways of doing so is education and development.
Too much to read.
But Russia and the US have had declining populations from what I've heard.
