I always thought that maybe we should have a financial requirement. If you don't have the means to take care of a child you shouldn't have one.
However, I understand that people would be upset by that, and I don't believe it is our place to tell someone how to live their life.

But we should if we're paying for the child's upbringing.
One could approach things from the opposite direction and try to make raising children less onerous for ambitious/highly educated people. Think about doctors, lawyers or people with PhD ‘s. When is a good time for them to have children? How many can they reasonably have before they start to think that they are neglecting them?

How about reversible sterilization at birth. Once a person can demonstrate the ability to be self reliant and able to care for their own, reverse.... No voting, no handouts and no kids until you can provide with consistency and reliability.
