Demographic assumptions for Ghana's population projections: 2000–2050.
| Year | Total fertility | Male life | Female life | Net migration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rate | Expectancy | Expectancy | ||
| 2000 | 3.99 | 56.0 | 57.7 | Constant |
| 2010 | 3.37 | 57.6 | 58.5 | Constant |
| 2020 | 3.01 | 61.1 | 62.6 | Constant |
| 2030 | 2.70 | 64.4 | 66.6 | Constant |
| 2040 | 2.44 | 67.2 | 69.9 | Constant |
| 2050 | 2.10 | 69.8 | 72.9 | Constant |
Note. The mortality inputs correspond to the pattern of mortality implied by the North Family Model Life Tables (Coale and Demeny, 1983).
The total fertility rate and life expectancy are measured in number of children per woman and years, respectively, while net migration is constant at zero.
