Morphology
The meaning 'limiting the number of children born' is directly derivable from combining 'birth' (the event of being born) with 'prevention' (the act of stopping). As a straightforward compositional noun phrase meaning 'prevention of births', it follows common cross-linguistic logic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Birth prevention joins birth (having a baby) and prevention (stopping something). Think of using a simple barrier or a plan to stop a pregnancy from starting, and that's why it means 'limiting the number of children born'.
