Demographics

Demography (prefix, Demo-) is the statistical study of populations, including of human beings. As a very general science, it can analyze any kind of dynamic living population, i.e., one that changes over time or space (see population dynamics). Demography encompasses the study of the size, structure, and distribution of these populations, and spatial and/or temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, ageing, and death. Based on the demographic research of the earth, earth’s population up to the year 2050 and 2100 can be estimated by the demographers.from Ancient Greek δῆμος dēmos, means "the people" and -graphy from γράφω graphō, implies writing, description or measurement. Demographics are quantifiable characteristics of a given population.

Demografi (av grekiskans δήμος, démos, "folk", och γράφω, gráfo, "skriva") är vetenskapen om en befolknings fördelning, storlek och sammansättning. Det kan avse ålder, kön, yrke, inkomst, religion, etnicitet, intressen, utbildning, civilstånd eller annat. Uttrycket används ibland synonymt med befolkningsstatistik.
