In life tables what equation do you use to figure out how many individuals will there be in the next generation? You\'re given, x (age), nx, lx and mx and you have R0 and T and r values caculated

Solution

Ro= basic reproductive rate, No= initial population size, Nt= new size of the population one generation later if t=time of 1generation, then Nt can be calculated as, Nt=No.Ro

If Ro remains constant from generation to generation, then population size of several generations in the future can be predicted by calculating r. r is the intrinsic rate of natural increase and can be calculated by r= lnRo/Tc where Tc is the cohort generation time.
