Some developed countries have a declining population, particularly when you account for the impact of immigration. This has been achieved through improved healthcare (knowing that your children will survive/access to contraception), improved education (sexual eduction/access to better jobs), free commerce and media (increased importance of lifestyle and material possessions), equal rights (women in control of their own future). Therefore, I think the focus should be on sustainable development. On your second point, I don't understand why those from more affluent backgrounds, with access to a better education and opportunities, should ultimately be provided rights that are not afforded to other less fortunate people.
