Abstract
Proofs of the existence of non-periodic behavior using sufficient chaos conditions leave open the question as to whether irregular fluctuations are probable for initial conditions drawn at random. It is known that in some cases this probability is zero, thus casting doubt on the importance of chaos as a theoretical characterization of the phenomenon of interest. In this note we consider this issue in the context of a classical demoeconomic model. We show that non-periodic population fluctuations are probable, converging to a limit set with positive measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesque measure.
