Increasing the education and employment opportunities for women.
Reason: higher female education and workforce participation are strongly associated with later marriage and childbearing, greater use of contraception, and a preference for smaller families — all of which tend to lower birth rates. The other options would either raise birth rates (tax breaks, earlier marriage, reduced family planning access) or do the opposite.
