Linkages of Intrinsic to Age-Specific Rates

Abstract

A change in the birth rate or the death rate at a particular age of women affects the overall increase of a population, its age distribution, and other features; the article finds simple formulas for the amount of effect. It implicitly compares two populations in which fertility and mortality remain constant for a long period of time, the two differing only in respect to the birth or death rate at one age. The appendix table displays all results.
