Population Projections

The following projections were run using the Spectrum Program from Avenir Health. 

Each projection shows population growth if couples were to have one child, two children, three children, the current Total Fertility Rate (TFR) as reported by the Population Reference Bureau in their most recent World Population Data Sheet, or the desired/ideal family size as reported in the latest Demographic Health Survey (DHS). When the most recent DHS is over 10 years or is the same as the PRB data, this variable is omitted from the projection.
