When you raise the standard of living, which includes general health measures as well as education, the population rate generally decreases on its own. That alone should take care of at least some of the overpopulation. Keep in mind that in many of the countries they mention - India, China, "premature death" doesn't mean living till you're 75 when you COULD have lived to 90; it means dying at 41 of things that generally are preventable and that don't happen till much later in more developed nations with better public health.
