  2. What is demography? • Demography is the scientific study of human populations primarily with respect to their size, their structure {composition} and their development {change} (IUSSP (Yaukey – Demography)) • Demography is the empirical, statistical, and mathematical study of human populations. It focus on change in population size (growth or decline), composition of the population, and the distribution of population in space (From Bogue – Principles of Demography) • Demography can be defined as the quantitative study of five demographic processes – fertility, mortality, marriage, migration, and social mobility (change in status or circumstances). – these five process determine the size, composition, and distribution of the population (From Bogue)

  3. WHAT IS DEMOGRAPHY? Formal Demography (Aggregate Level) Individual-level determinants (biology/social sciences) Mortality Fertility Migration (rates) Pop Size Distribution Composition (structures) Feedback effects Population Studies (fertility, poverty, crime, teenage childbearing, health and social disparities, forecasting and projections)
