VirtualPop: Simulation of Populations by Sampling Waiting-Time Distributions

Constructs a virtual population from fertility and mortality rates for any country, calendar year and birth cohort in the Human Mortality Database <https://www.mortality.org> and the Human Fertility Database <https://www.humanfertility.org>. Fertility histories are simulated for every individual and their offspring, producing a multi-generation virtual population.
