Datasets on Inflow and Outflow Migration Schedules for FDM Method

Description

Age-specific schedules of the inflow and outflow migration distribution used as input for the FDM method. rc1FDM corresponds to 1-year ages, while rc5FDM corresponds to 5-year age groups.

Usage

data(rc1FDM)
data(rc5FDM)

Format

A data frame where countries and ages are rows. It has four columns:

country_code

Numerical Location Code (3-digit codes following ISO 3166-1 numeric standard) - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_numeric.

age

Either single ages from 0 to 100 (rc1FDM) or 5-year age groups, such as “0-4”, “5-9”, ..., “100+” (rc5FDM).

Details

These datasets are used as the default datasets in pop.predict if mig.age.method is either “fdmp” or “fdmnop” and the inputs item “mig.fdm” is not given. Other default parameters of the FDM method are read from the vwBaseYear dataset.

Source

Most of the values were provided by the United Nations Population Division.
