Abstract
In this chapter, we show how the CCR method can be run in reverse to generate historical population estimates, a procedure known as backcasting. We describe Reverse Cohort Change Ratios (RCCRs) and give three examples of their use. We also show how life table survival rates are related to CCRs.
