   Extractions: Categories and lists Journals Publications Outline ... e Map of countries by population Demography is the statistical study of human populations . It can be a very general science that can be applied to any kind of dynamic human population, that is, one that changes over time or space (see population dynamics ). It 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 aging and death Demographic analysis can be applied to whole societies or to groups defined by criteria such as education nationality religion and ethnicity . Institutionally, demography is usually considered a field of sociology , though there are a number of independent demography departments. 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. The term demographics is often used erroneously for demography, but refers rather to selected population characteristics as used in government

Well, not exactly, is the correct reply, for other things matter too and even demographic trends can change over the decades. But it is certainly important, and its effects endure for longer, and have a wider impact, than most other social or economic forces. More attention should be paid to population trends, by politicians, economists, sociologists and even those studying international relations. For something extraordinary is happening, right now, in the populations of the United States and of Western Europe. More strictly, the extraordinary change is taking place just in the United States. But if it continues, it will open up a remarkable gap between the rich countries on the opposite sides of the Atlantic, which could have big policy implications for both of them. At present, West European countries are following what seems to be a normal demographic path: as they became richer after the 1950s, so their fertility rates fell sharply. The average number of children borne by each woman during her lifetime fell from well above the “replacement rate” of 2.1—the rate at which the population remains stable—to less than 1.4 now. The United States followed that pattern too, until the 1980s. But then something astonishing happened: the American fertility rate reversed its decline, and even rose quite sharply, back almost to the replacement rate.

   Extractions: SUDA is part of the Department of Sociology, offering training in demography through individual courses, multi-disciplinary one- and two-year master�s degrees, and a doctoral degree in sociological demography. These programs are the only comprehensive demographic training in Sweden and are well connected with research schools throughout the world. Our research concentrates on family dynamics � childbearing, partnerships, households � and the cultural, social, economic, and political conditions that underlie them. Most of the work we do is comparative, engaging data from countries throughout Europe and the rest of the world. We are particularly interested in the effects of social policy, gender relationships and attitudes or values on demographic behavior.

   Extractions: Both in Russia and abroad, much of the focus has been on the extent of the crisis and the potential size of Russia’s population in 2050. In a country where every month seems to bring a new “decisive political struggle,” timelines stretching over half a century are not likely to generate effective policy responses. By emphasizing the more When we begin to discuss the implications of Russia’s population crisis, the temptation is almost always to provide a laundry list of serious problems. I have succumbed to this practice myself (Balzer 2002; 2003). But, like the half-century timelines, extensive lists tend to overwhelm audiences and policy-makers. Rather than stimulating action, they can produce a feeling of being overwhelmed and a belief that if things are that bad, there must be some mechanism of self-correction that enables human societies to survive. Since it is not possible to do everything, why not do nothing? There is an urgent need for focus and priorities.                      continue reading Demographic/Health Problems in the Russian Federation: Trends, Dimensions, Implications

    Extractions: This is a draft article , under development and not meant to be cited; you can help to improve it. These unapproved articles are subject to edit intro Demography is the study of the change in the size, density, distribution and composition of human populations over time, and includes analysis of such factors as the rate of birth, death, marriage and fertility, as well as emigration and immigration. The “demographic perspective” is relating population factors (such as the size and growth of a population, or the location in urban and rural areas) to larger political, economic and social issues. Demography has come to have a wider meaning, and is now used for all statistical descriptions of human life conditions, including illnesses, socioeconomic indicators, and other aspects of living conditions - as long as the statistics refer to the numbers of individual people who exhibit the characteristic in question.

    Extractions: While world fears have generally centered around the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weaponry, the major time bomb clicking away is a demographic one. In 1998, the two hundredth anniversary of Thomas Robert Malthus's "Essay on the Principle of Population" was observed. Developed in this work is how under ideal conditions human numbers increase geometrically. (See Frank Elwell's Reclaiming Malthus site.) Six years after its publication, in 1804, world population first reached one billion people. Just 123 years later the population reached two billion, and in 47 years doubled again to four billion in 1974. In the fall of 1999, one born in 1960 will have seen the world's population double from 3 to 6 billion (check out ZPG's Y6B page ); one born in 1927 will have seen human numbers tripled (source: United Nations, 1998 ). Of the estimated 105 billion humans who have ever been born, 5.5 percent are currently alive Around the world the number of births in 1998: annually equals the combined populations of all Central American countries, or more than the population of Japan or Bangladesh
