The Length of a Generation |
|
| Authors: | L. P. Lefkovitch |
| Abstract: | After comparing a number of definitions of the length of a generation, two new ones are proposed. One is the mean age of mothers having new born children in the current population, the other is the period of decay of departures from the stable age distribution. Numerical examples are given. |
