 WHAT IS DEMOGRAPHY?
The Oxford Dictionary of Economics
defines demography as “The study
of the characteristics of human
populations."

encompasses the study of the size,

structure, and distribution of
these populations, and spatial or
temporal changes in them in
response to birth,migration,
aging, and death.
Demography is very useful for understanding
social and economic problems and identifying
potential solutions. Demographers are
engaged in social planning, market research,
insurance forecasting, labor market analysis,
economic development and so on.
IMPORTANCE OF
DEMOGRAPHY
 The importance of demography is
clear forits scope. Since its scope is
increasing which already leads to it
importance. Demography is concerned
with the growth and distribution of
population in less developed countries
as well as underdevelopment and

problem due to malnutrition. Also
due to ill health of mother, infant
mortality rate is high in
ourcountry. High fertility is
connected to the child
development.
2. PLANNING FOR
FOOD SUPPLY
Planning for food supply means
availability of adequate food for the
total population. The inadequate
food results in the poor health, low
growth, high mortality rates and low
physical activity. Food supply grows
with the growth of population. The
undeveloped and underdeveloped
countries are unable to meet the
demands of food supply.

increasing, the demand for housing is
also increasing. Therefore data Unemployment is a social and

 THE GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY
The current world population of 7.6
billion isexpected to reach 8.6 billion in
2030, 9.8billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion
in 2100, according to a new United
Nations report being launched today.
With roughly 83 million people being
added to the world’spopulation every
year, the upward trend in population
size is expected to continue.
GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY

Birth rate is the demographic measure of the rate at which

children are born. The most well known is the crude birth
rate,which is the number of births that occur each year per
1,000 people in the midyear population. It is called “crude”
because it does not take into account the possible eects of
age structure. If a population has an unusually large or small
number of women in child bearing age, then the crude
birthrate will tend to be relatively high or low regardless of the
actual number of children a woman has. For this reason, age
adjusted birth rates are preferred for making comparisons,
either over time or between populations.

 In the 1950s the world looked very dierent. Data
from the United Nations shows that the global
population wasaround 2.5 billion. Today, that number
is almost 7.5 billion and is expected to rise to 9.7 billion
by 2050. In the middle of the 20th century, China was
home to 500 million people and, like today, it was the
world’s the most populated nation, followed by India
and the united states. But, based on current trends, the
list of the world's most populated nations could look
very dierent by 2060.
