Explanation:

Demography is a discipline that studies statistical information related to the dynamics of human populations. Demography enables the analysis of the structure, distribution and size of human populations over space and time. A demographer analyzes population parameters such as birth rate, death rate or migration rate, which can be used to predict population dynamics. This information is used by governments in order to predict both economic and social trends for target populations.
