pop: Estimates and Projections of Population Counts
Description
Datasets with age-specific male and female historical population estimates and projections. Datasets popM (popF) contains estimates of the historical population counts for male (female). Datasets popXprojMed, popXprojHigh and popXprojLow contain median, high and low projections, respectively, with X=M for male and X=F for female. Datasets popprojHigh and popprojLow contain the upper and lower bounds for total population, i.e. aggregated over sex and age. The high and low variants represent the high and low fertility scenarios, i.e. +- 1/2 child.Usage
