Abstract

This paper studies the impact on major population characteristics of changes in structural demographic parameters. The parameters considered are age-specific fertility, mortality and migration rates. Applying the technique of matrix differentiation, sensitivity functions are derived which link changes in important multiregional demographic statistics, such as life-table statistics and population growth and stable population characteristics, to changes in age-specific rates. In addition it is shown how the discrete and continuous models of population growth may be reconciled.
