Population Projection a statement of a population's future size, age, and sex composition based on the application of stated assumptions to current data
Demographic momentum The tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their young age distribution. This is important because once this happens a country moves to a different stage in the demographic transition model.
