Description: Provides the official population estimates and projections
        of Ecuador published by the National Institute of Statistics
        and Censuses (INEC, "Instituto Nacional de Estadística y
        Censos"), Revision 2024: national (1950-2050), provincial
        (1990-2035) and cantonal (2010-2035) figures by sex, age and
        urban/rural area, identified by the codes of the
        political-administrative division (DPA, "División
        Político-Administrativa")
        <https://www.ecuadorencifras.gob.ec/proyecciones-poblacionales/>.
        Because INEC does not publish projections for parishes, the
        package also offers a parish-level estimate for 2010-2035 that
        distributes the official cantonal projection among parishes
        using their shares in the 2010 and 2022 censuses (logistic
        extrapolation) and their age and sex structure in the 2022
        census (iterative proportional fitting); parish figures always
        add up to the official cantonal ones. Includes helpers to
        aggregate ages, join population denominators to case tables and
        compute rates, convert codes of urban parishes and of the 2026
        political-administrative division (CONALI, "Comité Nacional de
        Límites Internos") to census units, and native integration with
        the 'geoecu' package to map population on the boundaries of
        provinces, cantons and parishes. Documentation is in Spanish.
        Includes conditional territorial population scenarios for
        1900-2100 using structural time series, damped extrapolation
        and hierarchical compositional allocation with Monte Carlo
        bands.
