The large time behavior of numerical solutions for a model describing age-structured population dynamics is investigated. An upwind scheme is considered for the approximation. The optimal rate of convergence of the scheme is demonstrated for the maximum norm and the stability of the method is discussed. Numerical experiments are carried out.
