Fertility Mortality Migration
Mid-year population estimates uses the latest available data on.. to estimate the size of the population of South Africa.
Stats SA: MID-YEAR ESTIMATES 2020
To project the full impact of COVID-19 without sufficient trend data will create a far greater uncertain set of population estimates for current planning and decision-making.
The impact of COVID-19 on conception and subsequent fertility will only be reflected in the reported births
Fertility Mortality Migration
There has been 2657 reported COVID-related deaths by mid-year which is marginal in comparison to overall death count in a given
speculate on the annual COVID-19 related deaths for the cycle of the 2020 MYPE. There is a reduction in international migration which is indicative of the COVID-19 travel restrictions over the past 3 months. Internal mobility in this period has mostly been temporary whilst the MYPE requires a more permanent act of migration.

since 2007.
The difference in LE between men and women declines significantly during the era of high AIDS mortality but with increased access to HIV treatment and care, the difference between male and female LE increases reverting to the more normative pattern of higher female LE than males
