In a stable population with no migration, the growth rate at each age is constant, so the difference between the entry rates and exit rates of successive age groups must be identical. A straight line fitted through the points has a slope determined by the reciprocal of death-reporting coverage and an intercept equal to the constant annual growth rate.

the other as the residual of the entry rate and population growth rate above age x. For the present application, the deaths in the 12 months before the 1988 census have been used with the 1976 and adjusted 1988 age distributions.

lions and deaths has greatly distorted the estimate of death coverage. As seen above, the age patterns of the adult mortality estimates based on deaths in 1987-1988 are very consistent with model patterns, and in the absence of any strong indication of systematic error, the data are accepted as being reasonably accurate.
