Abstract :
This paper is concerned with the application of Monte Carlo method in demography. In the past, most of scholars researched population at the macro level, just little at the micro level. Refer to SOCSIM and CAMSIM, we design a Monte Carlo simulation system in demography, which is micro simulation. Logic of this algorithm is easy, but the load of system is very heavy. Enormous computing power of computers is taken into account nowadays, it is worth for us to do this. We could make use of it to get more information than ever. And it can be used for check the results by other method.
