There doesnt seem to be a global shortage of men(or women)at the moment,and no prospect of such a shortage.You could argue that nearly all our worlds problems are caused by too many men and women-----

China have a good setup. Maybe something from China can be adopted China's setup is:

If you want children, you MUST have a marriage licence first. Then you have to apply for a licence for each child (which the state can decline if they so wish).

It's only possible to have one child licence, regardless of your social status/wealth etc.

If you have unlicenced children (out of wedlock or too many kids) then you're severely fined, and if you can't pay the fine, you're imprisoned.

However, they are thinking of stopping this policy, mainly as it leads to unlicenced children being sold on the black market.

ok so in the short term the competition between females for males is no doubt beneficial to men, but in terms of widening a gene pool = not good!! we'll all become inbred....I say 'become' obviously some may have already beaten us to it

I've always thought that was quite a good policy, would deter the chavs from breeding

Yep, I think overpopulation is a huge problem. I'm reading a book at the moment called, "Metaman". It's essentially about the way that 'mankind' and his associated effects on the world (buildings, transport networks etc.) are akin to a giant living organism, of which we as individuals are essentially just 'cells' performing particular tasks. One of the biggest problems for metaman to overcome in order to thrive is that of overpopulation as aside from being a problem in itself, it also speeds up the rate at which other significant problems (global warming, peak oil, etc.) are going to come about.

Throws up interesting ethical dilemas: Is it more 'moral' to have an 'opt out' form of contraception than it is to allow overpopulation to get to the stage where billions die of starvation. IE by default everyone is rendered unable to produce and you have to pass a parenting test, not have a criminal record, to be given a course of the antidote and even then be limited to 2 children max?

Only Bikers* should be allowed to have sex, thereby ending overpopulation, climate change AND congestion in one fell swoop...

*obviously bikers will have the choice of which models, Hollywood stars etc they get to have sex at, on, towards, or in the rare occasion with.
