What is Demography?
[[File:United States Age Pyramid.svg|thumb|Distribution of ages of a population]] '''Demography''' studies the [[statistics]] of [[human]] [[population]]s. Demography is usually used to study dynamic (constantly changing) populations. It covers the study of the size, structure and distribution of these populations and the changes in these populations due to births, deaths, [[migration]] and [[emigration]]. Demography can also be applied to entire groups defined by [[nationality]], religion and [[ethnicity]]. Formal demography limits its object of study to the measurement of populations processes, while the more broad field of social demography population studies also analyze the relationships between [[economic]], [[social]], cultural and [[biological]] processes influencing a population. ==Related pages== * [[Sociology]] * [[Demographics]] {{science-stub}} [[Category:Demography| ]]
