Modelo de Heligman-Pollard para la elaboración de tablas de vida para Puerto Rico.

• Sep 2021 - Jun 2022

The dramatic decrement in the population of Puerto Rico had been recently confirmed by the US. Census 2020 preliminary results, indicating an 11% decline since 2010. Data Analysis about demographic components such as mortality, fertility, and migration is essential to have a better idea of the actual situation and understand the implications of the interaction of these components for the future population. In this research work, we will study more deeply the Census 2020 data. Also,we will learn about the models for total fertility rate and life expectancy proposed by Raftery that were used by Rosario, Pericchi, and Mattei to generate new population projections. These population projections are very dramatic predicting near 2 million people by 2050. More research in this area is needed to reinforce and justify the projections to impulse public policies that help to reduce the population decrement pace. My role is a research assistant, and my chores include: literature revision, data analysis with R, and evidence reports.
