Abstract
One purpose of this paper is to draw attention to several ideas from demography, which could be useful to an actuary. An actuarial course of study might not have considered these concepts at great length. The ideas are: (1) stable populations and pension applications; (2) population statistics and their uses; (3) analytic expressions for P(t), the population at time t; (4) probabilistic models in demography; (5) population projections; and (6) finding probabilities from observed rates. A second purpose is to focus on several excellent demography-based papers which could serve an actuary. They are illustrative of works which could strengthen the professional work of an actuary. A third purpose is to provide a list of references for study by actuarial students.
