Table 2 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* =* 0.015 from r = 0.036

Age (z)	p(a)	p(a) m(a)	exp[− .015(z +* 2.5)] p(a) m(a)	∫exp (−ra*) p(a) m(a) da

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
