As for my personal view, I think we require a multi-prong approach. A cross section of my thinking ...

Education
Dismantling religion through directing people towards personal spiritual growth.
Restructure the world economy away from the financial profit model of capitalism towards another model.
Rejig social engineering, like allowing people to choose voluntary euthanasia, end financial payment for people to have babies, etc etc
Shift child raising away from couple and individual and into community raising.
Shift humanity to vegetarianism
and so on

Australia has always had a 'minimalistic' approach to population growth.
(wether this is due to our 'consistently' being one the highest, if not the highest 'Suicide Rate' in the World?)
Australia has traditionally had to rely upon IMMIGRATION in order to make its population growth kick tick over. Only recently has Australia experienced a bit of a self-sufficient growth from internal means ...I think it was just by 250,000 - thats all.

So in essence, Australia really does hold the key.
When Australia opens up and has its population suddenly swell to 100 million, you will find that - and only then, will the Rest of the World suddenly drop in its population growth. You could say, the world catches the Australian 'Minimalistic' curse.

Other than this - you could tick off a few boxes for a number of countries. Its no point euthanesian old people unless you want to 'de-culturalise' you nation into stupidity like some Logans Run movie.
One child Policy is probably the most 'humane' way to go about it.
India
China
Mexico
West Africa
Zimbabwe
etc
...are just some of the nations who have more mouths to feed than they can obviously afford. Yes, some Religions are to blame for not allowing contraception and not allowing 'education' that comes with it.

Personally, I don't think anything will be done for 1,000 years.

Actual experiment: 20 rabbits were released into a large, well contained property. Didn't take long for the Rabbit population to swell in numbers and then eventually 'plague' the property with 'over-population'. Then, when sustainability to support such a population dissapeared - the population totally crashed! The end result was only 8 Rabbits left. These 8 Rabbits eventually began to breed again from the 1,000+ that existed, but the population grew slower and steadied at 100 Rabbits with 50+/- flunctuations in accordance to their environment.

The Chinese 'Boom' Economy? Well it will collapse under the weight of its populational demands.

This question brings us to the crossroads of humanity.  If we can`t solve this, and many other of our problems humanely, and give ourselves a chance at becoming a civilised race,  we will condemn ourselves to the fact that we are nothing but destrutive savages.

The answer to over-population has always been an economic one. in first world countries population growth is already zero or less. The rapid increase in the wealth of countries like china and india will also reduce their populations in decades to come. It all changes when children move from being an economic asset (particularly in retirement) to an economic liability (as in the West).

Prosperity and the social welfare that it brings reduces the need for population growth. China has already started a tiny aged pension and this is a better step to population reduction than the one-child policy. Motivation is always better than penalty in such difficult areas.

Economic prosperity and in particular, aged pensions will be the key to curbing population just as it has in the West.
