The most efficient way to curb population numbers is to fuck up climate and starve the undesirables out.
Wait for euthanasia rolled out globally within a timeframe of 2-3 years (2-3 years from the start, we’re not there yet) and then promptly made the default at insurers.
Wait for border guards gunning down climate refugees in plain sight, then going with the same guns for whatever scapegoat the corporate+politicians invent. Again, we’re not there yet but the first signs are showing up.
