Abstract

This study deals with the projection of Korean female population of childbearing ages from 1970 to 1976 Korea. The underlying consideration of this study is to provide information regarding the size of Korean female population and its growth by calendar year for the next few years. Procedures for estimating the future number of women of childbearing age are from the method of estimating survival ratios with the use of model life tables when mortality rates are steadly declining in the future. Computation of the women are grouped according to five year increments. Estimates resulted from estimating the current levels and future trends of survival ratios with the use of model life tables are 4,572,139 in 1970, 4,691,642 in 1971, 4,811,145 in 1972, 4,930,647 in 1973, 5,050,149 in 1974, 5,169,653 in 1975 and 5,344,853 in 1976 respectively.
