The purpose of the workbooks is to facilitate analysis of available data for the following topics: age structure, mortality, fertility, migration, distribution of population, urbanization, and population projections. The workbooks are distributed with two manuals describing the demographic methods they implement and the procedures they perform.

Documentation

PAS is a collection of Microsoft Excel workbooks for population analysis. There are two volumes of documentation for PAS.

The first file, Population Analysis with Microcomputers, Volume I (original archived copy, 1994), contains a presentation of analytical techniques.

The second file, Population Analysis with Microcomputers, Volume II (original archived copy, 1994), contains the complete set of PAS spreadsheets and instructions on how to use them. By default, these documents are included in the USCB_Tools installation.

A brief explanation of the calculation performed by each spreadsheet is presented here, grouped by main demographic topic.
