Extract

In a previous paper (“The Effect of Present Trends in Fertility and Mortality upon the Future Population of England and Wales and upon its Age Composition,” London and Cambridge Economic Service Memorandum No. 40, 1935) the author prepared estimates of the future population of England and Wales on the basis of present trends in fertility and mortality. The present contribution gives estimates of the future population of Scotland based on similar considerations. For a full description of the significance of the methods employed, the reader is referred to the previous memorandum.
