Description: Provides the official population estimates and projections of
    Ecuador published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses
    (INEC, "Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos"), Revision 2024:
    national (1950-2050), provincial (1990-2035) and cantonal (2010-2035)
    figures by sex, age and urban/rural area, identified by the codes of the
    political-administrative division (DPA, "División
    Político-Administrativa") <https://www.ecuadorencifras.gob.ec/proyecciones-poblacionales/>.
    Because INEC does not publish projections for parishes, the package also
    offers a parish-level estimate for 2010-2035 that distributes the official
    cantonal projection among parishes using their shares in the 2010 and 2022
    censuses (logistic extrapolation) and their age and sex structure in the
    2022 census (iterative proportional fitting); parish figures always add up
    to the official cantonal ones. Includes helpers to aggregate ages, join
    population denominators to case tables and compute rates, convert codes
    of urban parishes and of the 2026 political-administrative division
    (CONALI, "Comité Nacional de Límites Internos") to census units, and
    native integration with the 'geoecu' package to map population on the
    boundaries of provinces, cantons and parishes. Documentation is in
    Spanish. Includes conditional territorial population scenarios for
    1900-2100 using structural time series, damped extrapolation and
    hierarchical compositional allocation with Monte Carlo bands.
