Contributions to the Article

Hello fellow Wikipedian editors,

I would like to add a section that discusses the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) and how natural fertility plays a role in a country's development as there is an existing section (Ansley J. Coale's preconditions for fertility decline) that introduces the idea that lowering fertility rates is beneficial. Perhaps I could also incorporate demographic information regarding fertility and birth rates of countries in different stages of the DTM. Exploring and including data on the effects of education and an individual/family's economic stability would also be useful. I also plan on adding to sections that discuss social factors and its relation to natural fertility; comparing fertility rates in regions where religion prohibits contraception versus in secular regions could aid in this discussion. Below are potential sources I would use. Let me know if you have questions about the links or advice to offer.

Overall, I love the way this article is laid out! It starts with giving the readers an overview of what Natural Fertility is and why it is used. It then goes into the Birth Control section that goes against Natural Fertility because it doesn’t exist with birth control. It then tells the readers the proximate determinants that affect when a female is fertile and lastly, talks about how and where Natural Fertility is practiced and the results in those areas. I love the way the writer gives such a clear and easy definition of what Natural Fertility is. I would add some previous statistics of what the areas that practice Natural Fertility were like before they practiced (if applicable) and if they are better or worse today. How do females feel about Natural Fertility? Adding these things would allow the reader to really compare and contrast and see how Natural Fertility really does work, the writer could then incorporate the pros and cons on Natural Fertility and in the Birth Control section maybe discuss why women don’t want to use contraceptives (side effects).
