Table 1 Values of R₀, μ, r, and net maternity function p(a) m(a) along with the computation of exp (− r* a) p(a) m(a) for predicting the proportion of contraceptive users to attain the rate of growth r* = 0.020 from r = 0.036

Age (z)	p(a)	p(a) m(a)	exp[− .02(z +* 2.5)] p(a) m(a)	∫exp (− r*a) p(a )m(a) da
15	0.88592	0.67148	0.47318	1.50550
20	0.88076	0.81029	0.51666	1.03232
25	0.87374	0.55575	0.32064	0.51565

R₀ = 2.43, μ = 24.37, r = 0.036
¹Here, z is the lower limit of the age class, e.g., in class (15–20), 15 is the lower limit and a is the mid value of age class, e.g., in class (15–20), (15 + 2.5) = 17.5 is the age of female used for computing the proportions. Since calculated m (a) in Table 4 is based on the age interval as (15–19), (20–24)…(45–49), a is considered to be the mid value of age interval
