ABSTRACT
Demography is the study of human population size, distribution, and structure, and how these change with time. Human demography deals with issues of profound importance to our world, such as global human population growth, the increase in elderly people as a proportion of the population in developed countries, and localized problems caused by population change in specific regions. An example of the latter would be the effect on rural villages of the migration of young men to urban areas to engage in wage labor.
