Generation Specs: Currently ages 14 - 29.
Methodology: This real-time model utilizes a Standard Sigmoid (Logistic) Curve to calculate population decline. Unlike linear models, this reflects the biological reality of aging, where mortality rates accelerate during mid-life and taper during the centenarian phase.
This clock utilizes US Census Bureau data and actuarial curves to estimate population decline. It assumes a maximum lifespan of 115-120 years (Projected Extinction: 2111) with a generation-specific life expectancy benchmark adjusted for the 1997-2012 cohort.
