Population Module

IFs population module may have some problems in sub-regional migration, that require further research in the future. Migration is an exogenous variable based upon UNPD forecasts of net migration rates in the model. In the case of sub-regional models it is frequently difficult to find sub-regional forecasts of migration. Additionally, there is two errors that occur when the model is broken out with sub-regional migration forecast data. The first is this: 

MigrantStocks.png

Followed by this error: 

PopForeign.png

In IFsHistSeries.mdb the ForecastNetMigrationUNPD table and the ForecastNetMigrationRateUNPD table are filled with zeroes where the data should be nulls for all sub-regions. This may be part of the cause of the error. The error may be caused by the logic for migration, where foreign population is a function of migration. There may be some limitations to the amount of intranational migration based upon the aggregated foreign population for a given country. This is only conjecture and requires further analysis in the future. 

Due to the errors that occur when the model is broken out with subnational migration data, migration forecasts are not included in the model's breakout. This leaves population forecasts unimpacted by migration, which is problematic. A scenario is used to calibrate IFs' population forecasts in India to introduce migration to the model without causing model error. Below is the logic that was used to generate the scenario. 


Model Vetting Using IIASA's India Model

India's subnational population was rigorously vetted and one of the tools available was subnational population forecasts that were developed by IIASA. These forecasts were compared with each state and territory in India, as were the components of these forecasts. The components include births, deaths, and migration. Below is a state-by -state comparison of the IFs base case (without migration) with IIASA's forecasts followed by recommendations for model calibration.

Two states are missing from this analysis, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. They were not included because IIASA's forecasts only have Andhra Pradesh, which includes Telangana. Whereas, the IFs model has Andhra Pradesh and Telangana separated. 

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Population

In 2010 the IFs model's population is about 2% greater than IIASA's, but in 2015 Andaman and Nicobar Islands's population drops below IIASA's by about 9%. The IFs model's population forecasts are less than IIASA's by an increasing rate and by 2095 IFs's population forecast is by about 94%. 

AndamanandNicobarIsPopIIASA.png

Crude Birth Rates

Andaman and Nicobar Island's Crude Birth Rates in IFs are close to IIASA's forecasts. In 2075 and 2080 IFs is less than IIASA by about 10%, but all other years the two models are less than 10% in difference. 

AndamanandNicobarCBRIIASA.png

Crude Death Rates

The IFs model's CDRs are significantly greater than IIASA's forecasts. In 2015 the IFs model's CDRs are about 9% greater than IIASA's and by 2095 the difference grows to around 23%. 

AndamanandNicobarCDRIIASA.png

Migration

The net migration rate in Andaman and Nicobar Islands starts out high in 2010 at about 8.5 per thousand and steadily declines to just below 3 per thousand by 2095.
