That's another problem. Cut back too quickly and there won't be enough
to pay the bills and generally keep the economy going.

Also some countries have quite young populations and the population
will continue to increase for some time even if couples only produce
replacement quantities of rugrats, because the couples having children
now (say 25 years old) will live for another 50 years, and their
children for another 75 or 80. And their children's children will be
around for the last 25 years of *their* lives. So until the median age
increases to 1/2 lifetime (which in turn is increasing almost
everywhere, particularly in the 3rd world), things are not stable even
with replacement-only reproduction.
