- 1. Demography is the study of human populations, including their size, structure, distribution, and dynamics. It examines various factors such as birth rates, death rates, migration patterns, and age distributions to understand how populations change over time. Demographic information is essential for policymakers, urban planners, healthcare providers, and businesses to make informed decisions and plan for the future. By analyzing demographic trends, researchers can predict future population growth, understand societal challenges, and develop strategies to address changing needs. Demography plays a crucial role in shaping public policy, social programs, and economic development efforts around the world.
