Abstract

In this paper, we develop a computational model for age-structured population projections of Bangladesh on the basis of the present population trend based on data from BBS and ICDDR,B. We project the first age-group population by least squares method and the other age-group population by our computational model for which we estimate the death rates of each age-group also by least squares methods. Validation of the model is reported and the computed results are compared with other projections.
