      The Bill Gates experiment with contraception in Africa more-or-less affirms this. He was dumping condoms out of airplanes to no effect. But then he incidentally started treating people in the communities where his staff worked for routine communicable diseases. The infant mortality rate plummeted and... before long, people who had 2-3 young healthy kids to look after started using contraception regularly.

      Rather than putting up a big sign that reads "STOP FUCKING", you can just improve people's lives generally speaking and they'll curb their family sizes of their own accord.
