Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Industrialization and increased education for girls are effective non-coercive strategies to curb population growth. Industrialization tends to lower birth rates as economies move away from agriculture and families no longer need as many children for labor. Education for girls leads to women marrying later and choosing to have fewer children, as they have more information and opportunities.
