Results of Auxiliary Projections
We made auxiliary projections for the period from 2061 to 2110, which may be used as a reference for analysis of long-term population projections. In these projections, the survival rate-fertility rate, sex ratio at birth, and international migration rate are assumed to remain constant from 2061. |
