  The reference I generally (used to) use is  WORLD POPULATION  An Analysis
of Vital Data  by Nathan Keyfitz and Hilhelm Flieger  Univ of Chicago Press
1968.  This is a large book, 8 1/2 x 11, 672 pages.  While it isn't
machine readable - it still may be usable and have pointers to machine
readable info.  Also I haven't checked for more recent literature, since
I don't do that sort of work anymore.  (This book also has an introduction
which explains how this type of demographic figures are calculated.)
