"This is the manual for the
computer program TARGET. The objective of the program is to estimate
the future trends in contraceptive users, acceptors and consumption
that are required to bring about a given reduction in fertility. The
first three chapters of the manual present the target-setting
methodology as well as a general application of the model to examine
the factors affecting long-range trends in contraceptive prevalence and
number of acceptors. Chapter 4 provides instructions for the user of
the TARGET program and includes all the practical details needed to
make projections on a computer. Instructions for installing the
program on different computers and a summary of the model's
mathematical structure conclude the manual."

Discussion Paper Series, No. 33, Aug 1986. iii, 62 pp. University of
Toronto, Department of Geography: Toronto, Canada. In Eng.
"This
document describes a series of general-purpose software packages that
have been designed for four basic types of demographic analysis on
microcomputers with DOS operating systems. It serves as a complement
to a set of two diskettes that contain the source progams with appended
documentation, the executable command files, and sample data sets. The
system, which will be expanded in the future, currently contains six
progams, including dual-variant packages for two of the analytical
tasks. The individual packages that make up the present system
are...Population Projection Packages--two variants (POPPROJ and
POPPROJ2); Cohort Survival Net Migration Package (NETMIG); Life Table
Package (LIFETAB); [and] Mortality Risk Assessment Packages--two
variants (MORTRATE and MORT2)." These packages are designed for use in
situations when adequate census and vital statistics data are not
necessarily available.

Software that has been specifically developed
to perform demographic analyses on both microcomputers and mainframes
is reviewed. The emphasis is on those programs with wide distribution.
Consideration is given to packages of demographic programs; fertility
estimation and analysis; mortality estimation and analysis; nuptiality;
migration; data collection, management, and quality testing; and
population projections and models. Information is included on the
addresses of the distributors of the software packages and
programs.
