DEFINITION
• Demography is the "study of
human populations in relation to
the changes brought about by the
interplay of births, deaths, and
migration" PRESSAT
DEFINITION
• "Demography is the
statistical description and
analysis of human
population". - WRONG
• Demography is the "statistical and
mathematical study of the size,
composition and spatial
distribution of human populations,
and of the changes over time, in
these aspects through the
operation of the five processess of
fertility, mortality, marriage,
migration and social mobility" -
BOGUE
CONCEPT & SCOPE
• Demography is the branch of
social size, structure, which deals
with the study of size, structure
and distribution of populations,
along with the spatial and temporal
changes in them in response to
birth, migration, ageing and death.
DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS : (Eg)
• Crude Birth Rate. (CBR)

• General Fertitlity Rate. (GFR)

• Crude Death Rate. (CDR)

• Infant Mortality Rate. (IMR)


• Life expectancy. (LE)

• Total Fertility Rate. (TFR)

• Gross Reproduction Rate.(GRR)

• Net Reproduction Rate. (NRR)


SCOPE OF DEMOGRAPHY
• Demography is the science of
population. In it's most general
meaning, a population is a set of
people who live in a specific land
area : a commune, a district, a
country or a continent,etc.
• A formal demography is concerned
with the size, distribution,
structure and changes of
population
SIZE
• Is the number of units (inhabitants)
in the population
DISTRIBUTION
• Is the arrangement of the
population at a given time,
geographically or among various
types of residential areas.
STUCTURE
• Is the distribution of characteristics
such as age, gender groups etc
among the population.

• Additional characteristics of the


uinits such as marital status,
occupation educational level, ethnic
characteristics, socio economic
status etc.
CHANGE
• Is the increase or decrease
of the total population or of
the one of it's structural
units.
NARROW SCOPE
• Population is constantly
changing over time.

• The components of change in a


population are births, deaths
and migration.
• Thus one generation will be
replaced by another younger
generation by birth and
death process.

• This is a natural change


or demographic
reproduction.
BROADER SCOPE
• The broader scope of
demographic reproduction
includes migration. It
means the
movement of people from
place to place.

• Migration has great influence


on population change.
• Within a country or an area, this
movement does not affect the total
size of the population.

• It changes the structure of the


population and area as well as the
living conditions of immigrants and
out-migrants.
• This process may also influence
the behaviour of the
inhabitants, especially out
migrants.

• Migrations have great influence on


population change.
• A balancing equation of population
change in time that involves the
relationship between birth, death
and migration is as follows.
• P1 = P0 + (B - D) + (I - O):
• where, P1 & P0 : Population at the
ending & begening point.
• B = # of Births in a period.
• D = # of Deaths in a period.
• I = # of In - migrants.
• O = # 0f Out - migrants
DEMOGRAPHIC CYCLE

• Demography cycle has five stages:


• HIGH STATIONARY.
• EARLY EXPANDING.
• LATE EXPANDING.
• LOW STATIONARY.
• DECLINING.
