Im pretty sure you mean that some parts of the world are overpopulated am I right? I believe that problem will sort itself out by wars, pandemics, over explotation of fertile soil and finally hunger. I dont see the world reaching a consensus over population control.

1º world countries "need" (for devaluation of labor force purposes basically) inmigrants so even if they had achieved some kind of "greedy equilibrium" (ppl doesnt want to be hindered with responsabilities/family etc when they live like kings) theirpopulation will steadly increase. In China fro example they tried with laws/repression and it didnt work very well so imho I think it will end in the hands of entropy. Of course in the process there will be lots of hurt, missery, pain etc. Its the only way we have learned to do anything as a species.
