    The author considers the following McKendrick equation \[ \partial p(t,a)/\partial t+\partial p(t, a)/\partial a= -\mu(a,P(t))p(t,a),\tag{1} \] where \(p(t,a)\) denotes the density individuals of age \(a\) at time \(t\) and \(P(t)= \int^M_0 p(t,a)\,da\) represents the quantity of the total population at time \(t\). Moreover, \(\mu(a,p(t))\) denotes the intrinsic mortality and \(\beta(a, P(t))\) is the fertility. Moreover, the density of newborns at time \(t\) is given by the relation \[ p(t,0)= \int^M_0 \beta(a, P(t)) p(t,a)\,ds,\tag{2} \] where \(M\) represents maximal age. In the paper some sufficient conditions for the stability of solutions of (1)--(2) in some cases are derived.
