OK, for some quick facts:
Overpopulation and population growth is hardly happening in the first world, where you would have the government, the infrastructure and the administration to carry out ANY such plan.
On the contrary, Europe is sufferin g from dangerously low birth rates which gives people a lot of worries becaus you can hardly run a country that's composed of 80% of people being over 60.
Overpopulation, with all its negative effects happens in the third world, mostly.
On the other hand, those people use hardly any resources at all. One western baby probably equals 20 African baby in terms of energy/food use.
In those countries where cutting the birth rates would really be a blessing, there is no infrastructure. People hardly have clean water, not to mention access to contraception.
Believe it or not, but most women don't want to have 10+ children. They even less want to give birth to 10+ children and to see half of them die.
History suggest that whenever women had the right and possibility to decide when they want to have children as well as an almost equal share in society, possibility to get an education and a job, birthrates drop dramatically.
So, instead of going for LESS freedom and LESS democracy by deciding via a dictatorship who can have children and when, why not fight for MORE freedom and MORE democracy, enabling women, educating them, giving them a chance to decide responsibly when to have how many children?
And if you really want to read it, I'll copypasta what I've written about "licensing" before
