My contribution was mostly a joke. I'll try and take it serious, for the sake of discussion.

How would you enforce this? What if they have a kid anyway? Would you force an abortion?

Under my world order, "stupid" wouldn't necessarily mean unintelligence on any test (if you have a low IQ, but can hold a job, you are fine. If you have an average or below average IQ, are a druggie, and aren't looking for a job, you are stupid. Or clinically depressed.). I'd consider rapists and pedophiles "stupid," along with anyone else who commits sex crime. I'd fix welfare... Somehow... As to discourage the poor from having children for the purpose of getting extra money.

In third world countries, it's all a matter of improving the standard of living (same is true for the rest of the world. Upper class has negative population growth). If I ruled the world, I'd work on improving the places that suck today.
