Cool story. He's referencing that when you reduce mortality people stop breeding as much and have more prosperous lives. Over breeding stops being a necessity because your kids are dieing of malaria
“First, we've got population,” he said during the talk organized by TED, a non-profit organization devoted to spreading ideas. “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3.”
Notice how he specifically says reproductive health services. As in contraception and birth control
