abstract: '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.'
