Abstract:
The Central Statistics Office has developed a fairly general computer
programme for making population projections. This paper is intended to
give details of how the programme works and of the type of assumptions
which form the computer input. The factors which enter into the calculations
are rates of mortality, net emigration or immigration, fertility and
marriage and assumptions are made concerning the levels of these factors
as they affect each age group over various periods in the future. The paper
also contains some of the results obtained on assumptions which appear
reasonable on the basis of present trends.
