    This study introduces Monte Carlo simulation for population projection confidence intervals. It accounts for uncertainty in fertility, mortality, and immigration rates for more reliable forecasts.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Statistical modeling

    Background:

    • Population projections are crucial for planning.
    • Traditional methods often lack robust uncertainty quantification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a Monte Carlo simulation approach for constructing confidence intervals in population projections.
    • To incorporate uncertainty in key demographic variables.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing Monte Carlo simulation.
    • Modeling fertility, mortality, and net immigration rates as random variables with specified distributions.
    • Constructing confidence intervals based on simulation outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed technique can account for uncertainty in population forecasting.
