Demography

“demo” meaning the people

“graphy” meaning measurement

In general, statistical study of

human population.
POPULATION
 Whole number of inhabitants occupying
an area such as country or the world
 Continually being modified by increases
(births and immigrations) and loses
(deaths and emigrations)
 Many development planners see
URBANIZATION and
INDUSTRIALIZATION as indicators of
a developing society but disagree on the
role of population growth or decline in
modernization.
 According to Thomas Malthus, in his “An
Essay on the Principle of Population, that
population will inevitably exhaust world
food supply.
 Features of Human
Population (Demography)
Population size and density
Population size
generally expressed as the number of
individuals in a population

Population density
average numbers of individuals per unit
area or per unit volume of environment.
Age Structure
The proportion of
individuals in each age
group.
Ratio of the various age
groups in a population
determines the current
reproductive status of the
popu­lation
NATALITY FERTILITY
RATE
Birth rate is the RATE
The number of live
number of births per 1000
individuals born in women during their
a population in a reproductive age.
given amount of
time per 1000
individuals in a
population
Mortality Rate

Mortality means the rate of death of

individuals in the population.
CRUDE BIRTH RATE
 the number of live births occurring among the population
of a given geographical area during a given year, per
1,000 mid-year total population of the given geographical
area
Sample Computation of CRUDE BIRTH RATE
(CBR)

Problem: In the town of TEE PACK LONG, there

were 3456 births in a year. The population was
123,456. Compute for the CBR.

Given: Registered number of births in a year

(RB)- 3456
Total Population (TP)- 123, 456
Formula:

Solution:
= 3, 456
123,456
=0.02700377916 * 1000
CBR= 27.99
CRUDE DEATH RATE
 the number of deaths occurring among the population of
a given geographical area during a given year, per 1,000
mid-year total population of the given geographical area
Sample Computation of CRUDE DEATH RATE
(CDR)
Problem: In the town of DEE KAH MAHAL, there
were 550 deaths in a month. The population was
345,456. Compute for the CDR.
Given: Registered number of death in a year (RB)-
550/month *12 months/year
Total Population (TP)- 345, 456
CDR= Registered number of deaths in a year
X 1000
Total Population

550(month)x12 (year)
345,456
6600
X 1000
345,456
.01910518272 x 1000

CBR= 19.11
Migration
Migration is the movement of people
across regions and territories.
Migration can be internal (within the
country) or international (between
countries).
Human Life Span vs. Human Life
Expectancy
Lifespan refers to the maximum number of years
an individual can live.
Life expectancy refers to an estimate or an
average number of years a person can expect to
live.
Instruction: Solve the following in a sheet of paper
and show your solutions.
1. In 2019 there were 673 births per week in the city
Marita Ammu with their population of 150, 500.
Therefore CBR is:
2. In 2019 there were 4500 death cases of Covid 19 in
the first quarter of the year in Wuhan City with the
population of 2, 000,000. Therefore CDR is:
