These are the common limiting factors of the human population:

More recently, other factors that have helped to limit human population include: access to better health care, access and education regarding family planning and contraceptives, education for women more broadly and being able to set up their own businesses, and families moving from rural to urban settings. Large families are an advantage in rural farming areas, but not so much in urban areas.
