title: A simple proof of the weak ergodicity theorem in demography.
abstract: "The proof of weak ergodicity of the age distribution has been given by Lopez using matrix algebra and also by McFarland using an elementary approach.  This paper presents a simple proof of the theorem using the law of averages.  The assumptions involved are almost the same as those assumed by McFarland."
