"Although postpartum infecundobi tity in reality rises sLightly with ago, the other components of birth intervals increasa also, so that tha fertility-inhibiting impact of postpartum infecundabi Lity changes very Little with age. It is, therefore, simpler and more convenient to use the same equation for' C in all age-g roups end to assume the duration of postpartum infacundahi lity to be ago invariant". /2 Tho aggregate ferti Lity model is based on an extension (over time) of the central equation (2.1) so as to include the base year (0) and the target year (t), and by considaring the following ratio: x C ( t) x C (t) -. - - - - x C I (t) x TF(t) TFR(t) C m (t) c - - - a - - - - - - - - - .
