A population with an invariable age structure and a fixed rate of natural increase. Any closed population without any migratory exchanges with the outside world, subjected to invariable fertility and mortality conditions over a long period tends towards a stable condition with an invariable age structure and rate of growth. A stationary population with a zero growth rate is a special ...

Dependency Ratio
Ratio of the economically dependent part of the population (children and persons aged 65 or over) to the working-age population (aged 15-64). The result is expressed as the number of persons under 15 and aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64. Age boundaries may vary. Youth dependency ratios and old-age dependency ratios can be calculated separately.

Standardized mortality rate
The standardized mortality rate (SMR) is the ratio of the number of deaths observed in a population over a given period to the number that would be expected over the same period if the study population had the same age-specific rates as the standard population. If the rate is greater than one, it is interpreted as excess mortality in the study population.
