Population Model

The population model that accompanies popclk allows you to examine a few factors in human population that result in the totals published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

For instance, the model allows you to make tradeoffs between life expectancy, the total number of children per female, the fertility period of the female, the mortality rates during different stages of life, the mortality rate of the mother during childbirth, and the rate at which old age accelerates.
