 DEMOGRAPHY
Demography is the
scientific study of human
populations.
 Importance:
It helps us understand
population growth, distribution, and characteristics.

 Key
concept:
Fertility, mortality, migration, and population structure.
 TERMS ABOUT DEMOGRAPHY:
Population Growth
 Factors Influencing Growth: Births,
deaths, and net migration.
 Population Pyramid: Illustration of
age and gender distribution in a
population.
 Population Projections: Predicting
future population trends.
Fertility
 The number of live births per 1,000
women of childbearing age.

 Influencing Factors: Socioeconomic

status, education, and cultural
norms.
 Total Fertility Rate (TFR): A measure
of average lifetime births per
woman.
Mortality
 The number of deaths in a
population.

 Metrics: Crude death rate, infant

mortality rate, life expectancy.

 Influencing Factors: Healthcare,

sanitation, and disease control.
Migration
 Types of Migration: International,
internal, immigration, and
emigration.

 Reasons: Economic, political,

environmental, and social factors.

 Impact on Populations: This can

lead to demographic changes.
Population Structure
 Age Dependency Ratio: The ratio of
dependent (young and elderly) to
working-age populations.

 Population Aging: The increase in

the proportion of elderly people.

 Consequences: Implications for

social services, healthcare, and the
economy.
Demographic Transition Model
 A model illustrating population
changes over time.

 Stages: Pre-industrial, transitional,

industrial, and post-industrial.

 Impacts: Shows the shift from high

birth and death rates to low birth
and death rates.
Global Demographic Trends
 Urbanization: Increasing urban
populations and its effects.

 Aging Populations: The challenges

and opportunities of an aging
world.

 Regional Differences: Contrasting

demographic trends in different
parts of the world.
Conclusion
 Reca
p:Demography's significance in understanding population
dynamics.
 Key Takeaways:
 Fertility, mortality, migration, and population structure are
essential components.
