That’s like asking how to limit a tree’s growth rate on the assumption that it is already too tall. There is no such thing as overpopulation. Some cities suffer from heavy handed governmental interference making it hard to raise a family, and that has the appearance of overpopulation, but in fact it is a very different sort of problem. “Overpopulation” is a code word used by people who just want to kill something. Sixty years ago when the world population was less than half what it is now, some governments were castrating people to reduce “overpopulation”. China tried to limit families to one baby and the result is a time bomb: not enough wives for all the young men.
“Sustainable” is a nice sounding word, but it has nothing to do with the birth rate. People always have just about as many babies as they want, and when the birth rate drops the country collapses.
