- | ===== Population ===== | ||
- | The population calculator contains three procedures: Net Immigration, Evolve Population and School Population | ||
- | |||
- | === Net Immigration === | ||
- | |||
- | The //Net immigration// procedure uses the //immigration// variable and the //emigration// variable to calculate //net international immigration//. | ||
- | |||
- | These variables are specified by region, gender, time and age. The //net international immigration// is passed on to //evolve population// | ||
- | |||
- | === Evolve Population === | ||
- | |||
- | The //evolve population// procedure combines information on //net international immigration//, //base population//, //total period fertility//, //births distribution//, //gender shares at birth//, //mortality//, //international immigration mobility//, and //net immigration share// to generate //Canada region population// by region, gender, time and age. //Canada region population// is passed on to the calculators [[Family Formation]] and [[Commercial Floor Space Population Age Related Buildings]]. | ||
- | |||
- | It also provides the //Canada total population// by region and time. This variable is passed on to the calculators [[Family Formation]], [[Macro Economics]], [[Food Biomass Requirements]], [[Street Lighting Energy Use]], [[Commercial Use Vehicle Stock]], [[Commercial Floor Space Total Population Related]], [[Commercial Floor Space Office], [[Municipal Waste Biomass Production]]. | ||
- | |||
- | ===School Population === | ||
- | |||
- | The school population calculator derives the school age population by region and time from the Canadian regional population. This variable is used in the calculator [[Passenger Kilometers by Mode]]. | ||
