Ka whai wāhi atu a Myrdal ki ngā kōrero o te ao whānui i te tekau tau 1930, ā, ko ia tētahi o ngā pūkaha nui i te hanganga o te kāwanatanga atawhai o Huitene. I tuhia e ia te pukapuka Crisis in the Population Question (Swedish: Kris i befolkningsfrågan me Gunnar Myrdal i te tau 1934). Ko te kaupapa matua o Crisis in the Population Question ko te kimi i ngā whakarerekētanga pāpori e hiahiatia ana hei tuku i te herekore takitahi (ina koa mo ngā wāhine) me te whakatairanga i te whanau tamariki, me te akiaki i ngā Huitene ki te whai tamariki. I kōrero taipitopito hoki te pukapuka i te hiranga o te kawenga mō te mātauranga o ngā tamariki i waenganui i ngā mātua me te hapori e ngā kaiwhakaako tamariki. Pātai: He aha te tekau tau i rongonui ai a Myrdal?
