    Summary

    This study adapts the stable population model for changing fertility rates, using a new equation to project the net reproduction rate (NRR). The findings offer a flexible approach for demographic projections when maternity functions vary over time.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Population Dynamics
    • Mathematical Biology

    Background:

    • The stable population model assumes constant fertility and mortality rates.
    • Real-world populations often experience time-varying fertility, challenging traditional models.
    • Existing models may not accurately capture demographic changes under fluctuating birth rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend the stable population model for scenarios with non-invariant net maternity functions.
    • To introduce a method for projecting the net reproduction rate (NRR) with time-varying fertility.
    • To demonstrate the model's applicability using an extended Easterlin's hypothesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a modified population model incorporating a time-dependent fertility component: m(a,t) = m(a) h(a,t)/h(t).

  • Defined h(t) using the reciprocal of the NRR at time t, informed by the extended Easterlin's hypothesis.
  • Applied the extended model to project future NRR based on observed birth trajectories.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified model successfully accommodates changes in fertility over time.
    • The approach allows for the determination of h(t) based on empirical birth data.
    • The projected NRR reflects the dynamic nature of fertility within the population.

    Conclusions:

    • The stable population model can be adapted for dynamic fertility conditions.
    • The proposed method provides a robust framework for demographic projections with time-varying maternity functions.
    • This approach enhances the accuracy of NRR projections in evolving populations.
