Abstract

The aim of this paper is to develop some models for the projection of stationary population under various paths of fertility reduction. It has been found that models derived are the generalization of all most all the previous models developed by researchers on the similar problem. The projected population size obtained by the proposed models showed more or less consistent estimates with the others.
