This document discusses population studies and demography. It defines population studies as the scientific study of human populations, including changes in size, composition, and distribution. It outlines K. Park's five stages of population growth: high stationary, early expanding, late expanding, low stationary, and declining. It then discusses tools for measuring static and dynamic population features like age/sex composition, birth and fertility rates, death rates, and migration rates. Finally, it covers several theories of population like the Malthusian theory and demographic transition theory as well as social factors influencing population growth.
