Abstract: This work presents models and methods that have been used in producing forecasts of population growth. The work is intended to emphasize the reliability bounds of the model forecasts. Leslie model is analysed. The Leslie modelling approach involves the use of current trends in mortality, fertility, migration and emigration. The model treats population divided in age groups and the model is given as a recursive system. Other group of models are based on straightforward extrapolation of census data.
The work presents the basics of Leslie type modelling ,the latter model is also analysed from model reliability point of view.
