Dr. Canning's comment on this article[edit]

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.

Dr. Canning has published scholarly research which seems to be relevant to this Wikipedia article:

I agree it was not worthy of a separate article, so I moved the referenced material to Demographic-economic_paradox#Contrary_findings. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:15, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
