From this definition we can say that demography focuses on five aspects of human population: (1) size, (2) distribution, (3) composition, (4) population dynamics, and (5) socioeconomic determinants and consequences of population change. (Swanson, J., 2004)<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Population size is simply the number of persons in a given area at a given time. Population distribution refers to the way the population is dispersed in geographic space at a given time. (Srivastava.,1994).<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Population composition refers to the numbers of person in sex, age, and other \u201cdemographic\u201d categories. The scope of the \u201cdemographic\u201d categories appropriate for demographic study is subject to debate.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The age, sex, race, year of birth, and place of birth are demographic characteristics. These are all characteristics that do not essentially change in the lifetime of the individual, or change in a perfectly predictable way. They are so-called ascribed characteristics. Many other characteristics also are recognized as within the purview of the demographer. These fall into a long list of social and economic characteristics, including nativity, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, citizenship, marital status, household characteristics, living arrangements, educational level, school enrolment, labour force status, income, and wealth. Most of these characteristics can change in the lifetime of the individual. They are so-called achieved characteristics (Swanson, J., 2004).<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Narrowly defined, the components of change are births, deaths, and migration. In a more inclusive definition, the addition of marriage and divorce as processes affecting births, household formation, and household dissolution; and the role of sickness, or morbidity, as a process affecting mortality. The study of the interrelation of these factors and age\/sex composition defines the subfield of formal demography. Beyond these demographic factors of change, there are a host of social and economic characteristics, that represent causes and consequences of change in the basic demographic\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">characteristics and the basic components of change. Study of these topics defines the subfields of social and economic demography.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">2. Demographic perspective<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">While the \u201cdemographic perspective\u201d is largely a way of dealing with data, it is present when we (1) bring into play essentially demographic phenomena, such as population size, change in population numbers, numbers of births, deaths, and migration, and age\/sex\/race composition; (2) apply essentially demographic methods or tools, such as sex ratios, birth rates, probabilities of dying, and interstate migration rates, and their elaboration in the form of model tables, such as life tables, multistate tables, and model tables of fertility or marriage; (3) seek to measure and analyze how these demographic phenomena relate to one another and change over time, such as by cohort analysis or by analyzing the age-period-cohort interaction; and (4) construct broad theories as to the historical linkage or sequence of demographic phenomena, such as the theory of the demographic transition or theories accounting for internal migration flows.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">In these terms, the demographic perspective can be applied widely to serve a broad spectrum of applied disciplines as well as aid in interpreting broad historical movements.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">To a large degree, this knowledge is captured in the demographic perspective. It provides demographers with a framework within which data, models, and theory can be used to explain how populations work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44\" src=\"http:\/\/antp12.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/192\/2019\/03\/Untitled-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">Source:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">http:\/\/www.nature.com\/nclimate\/journal\/v7\/n3\/full\/nclimate3222.html?WT.feed_name=subjects_clima te-sciences<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0 The most fundamental is to describe changes in population size, distribution, and composition as a guide for decision making. This is done by obtaining counts of persons from, for example, censuses, population registers, administrative records, or sample surveys. Counts of births and deaths can be obtained from vital registration systems or from continuous population registers. Similarly, immigration and emigration data can be obtained from immigration registration systems or from continuous population registers. As is true in many other scientific fields, demographers make use of these patterns in studying population trends, developing theories of population change, and analyzing the causes and consequences of population trends.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Various demographic measures such as ratios, percentages, rates, and averages may be derived from them. The resulting demographic data can then be used to describe the distribution of the population in space, its degree of concentration or dispersion, the fluctuations in its rate of growth, and its movements from one area to another. (EPHTI,2005).<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Demographic Measurement Tools and Techniques<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe major demographic processes of fertility, mortality and migration constitute the basic components to determine the size, composition and distribution of a population which require basic tools and techniques of measurement.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3.1.

Since births and deaths occur continuously, and since people frequently\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">change their place of residence, they are the bases of demographic analysis. Depending on their direction and magnitude these processes are important for social and economic planning, in assessing the present needs and the needs of the future expansion of socio-economic infrastructure. The techniques for measuring fertility, mortality and migration are described further.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">3.2.1. Measure of Fertility<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Fertility is the reproductive performance of an individual, a couple, a group or a population. It is meant the actual bearing of children. Some demographers prefer to use natality in place of fertility.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Fertility leads to increase of population. It differs from fecundity \u2013 which refers to the physiological capability of a woman to reproduce. A woman\u2019s reproductive period is roughly 15 \u2013 49 years of age.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">The most important measures of fertility include:<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">3.2.1.1. Crude Birth Rate (CBR)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">The crude birth rate indicates the number of live births (children born alive) per 1000 mid \u2013 year population in a given year.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">CBR\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 =\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Number of live births in a year\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 X 1000<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Total mid \u2013 year population<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the world CBR varies widely from population to population. It is high for population of the developing countries and low for those of the developed ones.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Example: According to world population data sheet of the Population Reference Bureau the Crude Birth Rate for 2003 was:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<table style=\"width: 387px\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 207.063px\">\u2022 World<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 176.063px\">= 22\/1000 population<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 207.063px\">\u2022 More developed counties<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 176.063px\">= 11\/1000 population<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 207.063px\">\u2022 Less developed countries<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 176.063px\">= 24\/1000 Population<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Fertility may be grossly determined as high, medium or low based on CBR values.

The GFR in more sensitive measure of fertility than the CBR, since it refers to the age and sex group capable of giving birth (females 15-49 years of age). It eliminates distortions that might arise due to different age and sex distributions among the total population.

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Demography is the scientific study of human population, including its size, distribution, composition, and the factors that determine changes in its size, distribution, and composition. Population size is simply the number of persons in a given area at a given time. Population distribution refers to the way the population is dispersed in geographic space at a given time. Population composition refers to the numbers of person in sex, age, and other \u201cdemographic\u201d categories. Demographers describe changes in population size, distribution, and composition makes use of these patterns in studying population trends, developing theories of population change, and analyzing the causes and consequences of population trends.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Various demographic measures such as ratios, percentages, rates, and averages may be derived from them. The resulting demographic data can then be used to describe the distribution of the population in space, its degree of concentration or dispersion, the fluctuations in its rate of growth, and its movements from one area to another.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">A change in the overall size of a population is the result of three cumulative changes in the number of births, deaths and migrants. Since births and deaths occur continuously, and since people frequently change their place of residence, they are the bases of demographic analysis. Depending on their direction and magnitude these processes are important for social and economic planning, in assessing the present needs and the needs of the future expansion of socio-economic infrastructure. There are techniques for measuring fertility, mortality and migration in a population which are used to depict the picture of the population.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The major demographic processes of fertility, mortality and migration constitute the basic components to determine the size, composition and distribution of a population which require basic tools and techniques of measurement. The tools of measurement are ratios, proportions and rates.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To a large degree, this knowledge is captured in the demographic perspective. It provides demographers with a framework within which data, models, and theory can be used to explain how populations work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>you can view video on Demographic techniques<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qlDG4tRZKnc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>References<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Bhende, A., &amp; T.

From this definition we can say that demography focuses on five aspects of human population: (1) size, (2) distribution, (3) composition, (4) population dynamics, and (5) socioeconomic determinants and consequences of population change. (Swanson, J., 2004)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Population size is simply the number of persons in a given area at a given time. Population distribution refers to the way the population is dispersed in geographic space at a given time. (Srivastava.,1994).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Population composition refers to the numbers of person in sex, age, and other \u201cdemographic\u201d categories. The scope of the \u201cdemographic\u201d categories appropriate for demographic study is subject to debate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The age, sex, race, year of birth, and place of birth are demographic characteristics. These are all characteristics that do not essentially change in the lifetime of the individual, or change in a perfectly predictable way. They are so-called ascribed characteristics. Many other characteristics also are recognized as within the purview of the demographer. These fall into a long list of social and economic characteristics, including nativity, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, citizenship, marital status, household characteristics, living arrangements, educational level, school enrolment, labour force status, income, and wealth. Most of these characteristics can change in the lifetime of the individual. They are so-called achieved characteristics (Swanson, J., 2004).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Narrowly defined, the components of change are births, deaths, and migration. In a more inclusive definition, the addition of marriage and divorce as processes affecting births, household formation, and household dissolution; and the role of sickness, or morbidity, as a process affecting mortality. The study of the interrelation of these factors and age\/sex composition defines the subfield of formal demography. Beyond these demographic factors of change, there are a host of social and economic characteristics, that represent causes and consequences of change in the basic demographic\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">characteristics and the basic components of change. Study of these topics defines the subfields of social and economic demography.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">2. Demographic perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">While the \u201cdemographic perspective\u201d is largely a way of dealing with data, it is present when we (1) bring into play essentially demographic phenomena, such as population size, change in population numbers, numbers of births, deaths, and migration, and age\/sex\/race composition; (2) apply essentially demographic methods or tools, such as sex ratios, birth rates, probabilities of dying, and interstate migration rates, and their elaboration in the form of model tables, such as life tables, multistate tables, and model tables of fertility or marriage; (3) seek to measure and analyze how these demographic phenomena relate to one another and change over time, such as by cohort analysis or by analyzing the age-period-cohort interaction; and (4) construct broad theories as to the historical linkage or sequence of demographic phenomena, such as the theory of the demographic transition or theories accounting for internal migration flows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">In these terms, the demographic perspective can be applied widely to serve a broad spectrum of applied disciplines as well as aid in interpreting broad historical movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">To a large degree, this knowledge is captured in the demographic perspective.

This is done by obtaining counts of persons from, for example, censuses, population registers, administrative records, or sample surveys. Counts of births and deaths can be obtained from vital registration systems or from continuous population registers. Similarly, immigration and emigration data can be obtained from immigration registration systems or from continuous population registers. As is true in many other scientific fields, demographers make use of these patterns in studying population trends, developing theories of population change, and analyzing the causes and consequences of population trends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Various demographic measures such as ratios, percentages, rates, and averages may be derived from them.

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Demography is the scientific study of human population, including its size, distribution, composition, and the factors that determine changes in its size, distribution, and composition. Population size is simply the number of persons in a given area at a given time. Population distribution refers to the way the population is dispersed in geographic space at a given time. Population composition refers to the numbers of person in sex, age, and other \u201cdemographic\u201d categories. Demographers describe changes in population size, distribution, and composition makes use of these patterns in studying population trends, developing theories of population change, and analyzing the causes and consequences of population trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Various demographic measures such as ratios, percentages, rates, and averages may be derived from them. The resulting demographic data can then be used to describe the distribution of the population in space, its degree of concentration or dispersion, the fluctuations in its rate of growth, and its movements from one area to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">A change in the overall size of a population is the result of three cumulative changes in the number of births, deaths and migrants. Since births and deaths occur continuously, and since people frequently change their place of residence, they are the bases of demographic analysis. Depending on their direction and magnitude these processes are important for social and economic planning, in assessing the present needs and the needs of the future expansion of socio-economic infrastructure. There are techniques for measuring fertility, mortality and migration in a population which are used to depict the picture of the population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The major demographic processes of fertility, mortality and migration constitute the basic components to determine the size, composition and distribution of a population which require basic tools and techniques of measurement. The tools of measurement are ratios, proportions and rates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To a large degree, this knowledge is captured in the demographic perspective. It provides demographers with a framework within which data, models, and theory can be used to explain how populations work.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>you can view video on Demographic techniques<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qlDG4tRZKnc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bhende, A., &amp; T.
