Volunteer sterilisation would only work in countries with a fast growing population,

I don`t think voluntary sterilization alone would be enough for a successful policy to rollback population. It would only be one of a different number of things.

I will add a few more ideas, and if you or others have some other suggestions to roll back the population, I would be interested in reading them. I think the policies should be proactive.

I don`t agree with a passive stance that as the economies of the world get better and people get richer, they will have fewer and fewer children. To me that is an assumption that that time will arive before the environment is so overtaxed that ecological disaster and or war takes place. Those are the two things I think a small population base would help us avoid. And even if they did occur with a smaller population base, the impact will be more contained, isolated, and probably much smaller in scale.

We should be proactive in combating the population growth and rolling it back.
