Ok, now it's a two child policy. But it's a start!

Highly unlikely. The path for a "Malthusian catastrophe" hyped up by population control obsessives in China is long gone at this point. Now the one child policy is having a distorting defect on gender ratios and is very much a negative policy.

Absolutely, the number of Chinese people aged 0-14 is now about 250 millions, rather than over 350 millions at the start of the policy.

Actually, most countries outside of Africa has either peaked or ar about to peak in terms of the number of children born. The number of Indians aged 0-14 likely peaked a few years ago http://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/Graphs/2_Probabilistic%20Projections%5C1_Population%5CPopulation%20Aged%200-14%5CIndia.png. Actually, the countries outside of Africa that will see an increase in their young population are not really the ones you would expect..

That said, things would probably be a lot easier on this planet for all concerned if we still had the global population of the 1980s.

Exactly. Yeah, some elevators have a maximum capacity of 20 people. You could fit 20 people in their if you absolutely had to but wouldn't everybody really rather ride an elevator that was only half full?
