Population and social security projections for Bangladesh.
The author presents population projections for Bangladesh using data from the 1981 census, U.N. sources, and other official and nonofficial sources.  "Confidence intervals for year 1986 and year 2001 populations for Bangladesh are developed.  Rural-urban shifts in population are analyzed through Markov chains, and reveal a significant projected redistribution to urban areas.  A study is presented of the actuarial cost of a potential social security program designed to meet the financial needs of an increasing set of urban dwellers.... Aggregate projected contributions and benefits for the years 1975, 2005, 2015, and 2025 illustrate the possible program."
