On the age-sex composition of the population that would result from given fertility and mortality conditions

L A Goodman. Demography. 1967 Jun.

Abstract

This article presents new formulas for calculating the eventual sex-ratio and the eventual age-sea composition of the population that would result from given fertility and mortality conditions. These formulas provide more accurate methods and are more widely applicable than earlier methods. The application of the formulas is illustrated through the use of available data on fertility and mortality conditions in the United States in 1964.
