Abstract
With the averaged net reproductive rate used as a bifurcation parameter, the existence of a local parameterized branch of time-periodic solutions of the McKendrick equations is proved under the assumption that the death and fertility rates suffers small-amplitude time periodicities. The required linear theory is developed and the results are illustrated by means of a simple example in which fertility varies cosinusoidally in time.
