The UN should be supporting family planning and making contraception more readily available. Consider Africa, the average women has 5 children and the population is set to double to 1.5 or even 2 billion by 2050. That will result in even greater poverty than they currently experience.

Without contraception women particularly are condemned to a life of poverty.
