Summary
This study models the changing proportion of the disabled population in Morocco over time using partial differential equations. The findings reveal the dynamic evolution of disability demographics across different scenarios.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Mathematical Modeling
- Public Health
Background:
- The disabled population requires significant societal and economic resources.
- Understanding demographic shifts in this group is crucial for policy development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To model the temporal dynamics of the disabled population in Morocco.
- To analyze disability trends using mathematical and simulation approaches.
Main Methods:
- Utilized partial differential equations to model population changes.
- Employed a numerical method with specific parameter settings.
- Incorporated data fitting and simulation for parameter determination.
Main Results:
- Developed and applied a numerical model to simulate disability trends.
- Considered three distinct scenarios based on parameter variations.
- Data fitting and simulation informed parameter values and model outcomes.
Conclusions:
- The study successfully demonstrates the temporal and age-related evolution of the disabled population.
- Results highlight distinct demographic trajectories under different simulated scenarios.
- Provides insights into the dynamics of disability in Morocco.
