Computational Methods for Population Projections

This manual explains the logical foundations of population projections and the kinds of inputs required to make them particularly in developing countries using the software distributed and supported by the Population Council. FIVFIV comes in four languages English French Spanish and Turkish....It runs on personal computer (PC) under DOS 2.0 or higher if the PC has at least 256 Kb of memory--more is better of course. It runs on either floppy-disk or hard-disk systems. Anyone who has used earlier releases of can use their old control files. Release 11.0 includes all the original options and maintains full upward compatibility. New features in release 11.0 include a page of indicators concerning fertility mortality migration and population growth year by year for the first 15 years (ask for REGROUP to get it) which can be extended by chaining projections. Migration assumptions can be made in four different ways. These assumptions give the user control over whether they refer to actual migration during the period or to survivors of those individuals who migrated during the period. An IBM/PC version of is included on diskette. (EXCERPT)
