Description

A population projection is a forecast of future population growth. These projections use a Component / Cohort Survival method to project future population growth for Alberta under three different growth scenarios: the medium, or reference, scenario and high- and low-growth scenarios. Projections of each component of population growth (fertility, mortality and migration) are developed based on past trends, modified to account for possible future patterns of change.
