Talk:Fertility-development controversy

Dr. Canning's comment on this article
Dr. Canning has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"This article really covers a single paper in the field with a contentious hypothesis. The paper is almost certainly wrong - this is discussed in the critique. My view is that dictionary entries should cover broad area with a reasonably wide literature - eg is fertility rising in developed countries - this paper on the effect of the HDI on fertility is a bit strange and probably not worth its own article but if there is to be an article this one is reasonably good"

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
