But if everyone stopped having babies then we'd have an aging population which puts a lot of strain on the economy because as older people retire there won't be any young people to take their jobs.

I completely agree. There are currently multiple countries going through this exact problem, due to the increasingly talented health care system and the lowering birth rates. Population aging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_ageing) is a serious issue that is exacerbated by declining birth rates. You phrased it very succinctly. :)

Unfortunately for the OP, simply limiting birth rates is not going to solve the population problem. In fact, there's a really good chance doing such a thing would cause many more problems down the road. [insert obligatory Chinese one-child policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy) reference here]

Absolutely this. It's a much more complex issue than 'cut the birth rates'. The changing demographic of the population has caused havoc with our pensions system over here. I don't think I'll ever be able to retire. You can't just change one thing without a knock on effect somewhere else. The solution suggested by op is incredibly short sighted.
