Note that POCWP is an alias for the *module* Population_ProductivityV24.
It is not a class.

Here you define a class that subclasses your imported module.
Frankly I'm surprised that you don't get an error there
but hey...

But this is now an init for a subclass of module.

So I'm guessing the use of a module to subclass
has confused things and I confess I'm not clear on
exactly what is going on and why you get this message.
But I'm pretty sure you don;t want to subclass your
imported module and thats the mistake.
