New approaches to modelling age dynamics of the number of children and young people

The authors suggest an approach to the econometric modelling of student cohorts on the basis of the Ridge model of age structure of children and young people developed by them. Constructing such a model allows connecting the demographic dynamics with the changes in the education system which opens up opportunities to model the number of placements at preschool educational institutions, at schools, and in the system of secondary and higher professional education.
