Multistate Population Projections
Abstract
This paper develops a procedure for carrying out multiregional population projections disaggregated by region of birth. Two classes of projections are developed: "native-independent" projections that assign to all residents of a region identical probabilities of transition and "native-dependent" projections that further disaggregate such probabilities by region of birth. The results underscore the importance of incorporating place-of-birth-specific information in demographic analysis.
