Demography - Definition
 The term demography was coined by a
Belgian statistician Achille Guillard in
1855
 Derived from Greek word ‘demos’
meaning a human being
 Defined as: “ the study of human
populations with respect to their size,
distribution, structure and changes
within them.”

Demography - Definition
 SIZE: number of people at a given
time
 DISTRIBUTION: arrangement of
population in space at a given time
 STRUCTURE: distribution of
population in age and sex groupings
 CHANGES: occur due to the growth
or decline of the total population due
to births, deaths, immigration and
emigration

What is Population?
A group of individuals
or items that share one or more
characteristics from which data can be
gathered and analyzed.

Demography - Historically
 Confucius of China (500 B.C.): believed
that excessive population growth
depresses the living standards of the
people
 Ancient Greeks Plato and Aristotle (300
B.C.) were of the view that the optimum
size of the city-state can be achieved
either by restricting or encouraging
births with punishments or rewards

Population Theories
 Theory:
A description of an event, an
explanation of why it happens, and
gives a prediction about future event
 Two kinds of Population Theories:
 Macrolevel Theories (Malthus and Marx);
and demographic transition theories
 Microlevel Theories – Cost utility theory

Demographic Transition
Theories
 Three stages theory
(Old and New Balance)
 Five stages theory
 Epidemiological Transition

Old Balance – New Balance
 Old Balance: Death rate high, birth
rate high – net result population size
remain the same in balance
 Transitional Stage: population
increases because of imbalance in
deaths and births
 New balance: Death rates and birth
rates are low and stay in balance with
a threat of decline

Epidemiological Transition
THREE STAGES: coined by Omran in
1971
 Age of pestilence and famine
 Age of receding epidemics and
sanitation awareness
 Age of degenerative diseases

There are FIVE stages of demographic
transition:
 Stage 1 – High Stationary
 Stage 2 – Early Expanding
 Stage 3 – Late Expanding
 Stage 4 – Low Stationary
 Stage 5 – Declining

 Pakistan is world 6th most populous country.
 With an Estimated population of Pakistan is
220,826,319 as of Sunday, June 28, 2020,
 Natural growth rate 2.50 (2020).
 With the same growth rate Pakistan will become the
4th largest nation in 2050.

What is Demography?
 Demography is the study of human
populations (their size, composition
and distribution across place, and the
process through which populations
change.
 Births, deaths and migration are the
‘big three’ of demography, jointly
producing population stability or
change
7/15/2022 19
GMC 2022

Demography is scientific study of
human population
It focuses on 3 phenomena:
i. Changes in population size
ii. Composition of population
iii.Population distribution in space
Important ‘demographic processes’
include: fertility, mortality, marriage,
education & social mobility
7/15/2022 20
GMC 2022

In a broader sense, additional characteristics such
as ethnicity (race, mother tongue), social
characteristics (marital status, literacy,
educational attainment, women’s status), and
economic characteristics (employment status,
occupation, income) also need to be considered
when describing population characteristics
1. Census
2. National Survey
3. Registration of vital events
4. Demographic Studies
7/15/2022 21
GMC 2022

Population studies are concerned not only with
population variables but also with relationships
between population changes & other variables –
social, economic, political, biological, genetic,
geographical, environmental, health & the like
Definition of Key Words
 Size refers to the number persons in the population
 Distribution refers to the arrangement of the
population in space at a given time
 Structure is the distribution of population among its sex
& age groupings
7/15/2022 22
GMC 2022

Change is the growth or decline of the total
population or one of its structural units. The
components of change total population are births,
deaths, & migrations
Age-Sex Composition of a population refers to the
proportion of males & females in different age-groups.
It has a direct bearing on social, economic, health needs
of communities or countries. In an “old” population, for
example, the society has to arrange for the care of the
elderly, & the country’s health system must be
organized accordingly. In a “young” population, on the
other hand, the country has to provide more schools,
immunizations, & economic support for the young
Net-Migration refers to the total number of persons
added or subtracted from a population as a result of
the combined effect of immigration & emigration
7/15/2022 23
GMC 2022

Urbanization refers to mass migration of rural
population into urban centers resulting in
increasing the urban population & growth of cities
Population Growth Rate (%/ year) is the rate
at which a given population is expected to
increase in a given period of time.
Population Doubling Time refers to the time
that would take for a population to double.
Because the population increase is on the
compound interest formula, a 1% per year
increase would cause the population to double in
about 70 years. If the population is increasing at
3% per year, than the doubling time will be 23.3
years
7/15/2022 24
GMC 2022

Population Pyramid is a pictorial presentation
of the age-sex composition of a population
Replacement Level Fertility (or Zero
population growth) is activated when a couple has
two births during their reproductive life, just
enough to replace themselves. At a community scale,
the replacement level is considered when there are, on the
average, 2.1 births per woman, to compensate for child
deaths
Momentum of Population Growth is the
characteristic of population growth when a sharp
decline in births does not bring in an immediate
reduction in natural increase
7/15/2022 25
GMC 2022

Population Dynamics
 Growth Rate
 Population Doubling Time
 Compound Growth

Growth Rate
 It refers to the rate at which a given population
is expected to increase in a given period of
time. It is shown in percentage per year
 Population Growth = Natural Increase + Net
Migration
 Natural Increase = (No. of Births – No. of Deaths)
 Net Migration = (IM - OM)
 Where IM = In migration i.e. No. of persons moving
into an area
 OM = No. of persons moving out of an area

Population Doubling Time
 It is the time that would take for a
population to double itself
Population Doubling time = 70
Growth rate
 If the growth rate is 2% and would
remain so than the time for a population
to double itself in number would be 70/2
= 35 years

Population Dynamics
 How to calculate the size of a
population if we know the growth rate
Pt1 = Pt0 (1 + r)t
Pt1 = Future population
Pt0 = Present Population
r = Growth rate per cent
t = number of years between t0
and t1

There are four ways in which the number of people in
an area can change during two time periods t0 & t1
Pt1 = Pto + (B – D) + (IM – OM)
B = number of live births to mothers in the area
D = number of residents died
IM = number of persons moving into the area fro permanent
residence
OM = number of persons moving out of the area to live
elsewhere
Thus the population of an area may change due to
natural reasons (B – D) known as natural increase or
due to migration (IM – OM) known as net-migration.
Subsequently:
Population Growth = Natural Increase
+ Net Migration
7/15/2022 30
GMC 2022

Compound Growth
If the population of a city is 100000 and
a growth rate of 5%. After 6 years it
will be using the formula:
Pt1 = Pt0 (1 + r)t
Pt1 = 100000 (1 + 0.05)6
134009

Population Growth Rate
…is a measurement that combines both natural increase
and net migration to calculate the overall growth of
a country’s population.
To calculate:
Population Growth Rate = natural increase rate +
net immigration rate/1000 x 100 (%)

While characteristic is an attribute of an individual
(e.g. male, young, healthy, employed etc),
composition is a property of a group of people. It
describes how the total given population is
constituted (e.g. 51% males, 20% below age 5, 85%
healthy 7& 30% employed etc).
Dependency Ratio is an index summarizing an age
distribution. Strictly, this is he ratio of population
who are economically not active to those who are
economically active. However, due to the difficulties
in defining economic activity in many countries,
especially when international comparisons are
made, a ratio of age group is used instead:
7/15/2022 34
GMC 2022

Population Composition (Cont’d)
Dependency Ratio
= Children + Elderly X 100
Working Age
= Pop below 15 + 65 & above X 100
Pop 15 – 64 years
Dependency Ratio of Pakistan = 95.1
Dependency Ratio of UK = 66.5
Sex Ratio: The overall sex ratio is simply the ratio of
males to females in the population & is calculated by
taking the number of males in a population & dividing it
by the number of females in the same population
Sex Ratio = Number of Males X 100
Number of Females
7/15/2022 35

Demographic Cycle
World history suggests that every nation passes
through a demographic cycle. The stages are:
1.High Stationary Stage: characterized by
high birth rate and high death rate
2.Early Expanding: The death rate begins to
decline while birth rate remains unchanged
3.Late Expanding: The death rate declined
still further and birth rate tend to fall
4.Low Stationary Stage: Low birth and low
death rates
5.Declining Stage: birth rate is lower than
the death rate and population starts
declining
7/15/2022 36
GMC 2022

Old Balance: (High fertility & High Mortality)
A large supply of births was necessary to compensate
for the large number of deaths. MMR & IMR extremely
high
New Balance: (Low fertility & Low Mortality)
Represents an improved condition of human efficiency
& health, with fewer deaths considerably less efforts
required to bring a generation to maturity. Production
of agricultural & industrial commodities is greater & life
style is more comfortable
Imbalance: (High Fertility & Low Mortality)
In between old & new balance is the period of rapid
natural increase. This growth is helpful for under-
populated nations. Too fast growth of population
leading economic, social & political chaos ( being faced
by numerous developing countries including Pakistan)

Transition 1
 Both high birth rates and death rates fluctuate in the first stage of
the population model giving a small population growth (shown by the
small total population graph). There are many reasons for this:
 little access to birth control
 many children die in infancy (high infant mortality) so parents tend
to have more children to compensate in the hopes that more will live
 children are needed to work on the land to grow food for the family
 children are regarded as a sign of virility in some cultures
 religious beliefs (e.g. Roman Catholics and Hindus) encourage large
families
 high death rates, especially among children because of disease,
famine, poor diet, poor hygiene, little medical science.
7/15/2022 46
GMC 2022

Stage 2
 Birth rates remain high, but death rates fall
rapidly causing a high population growth (as shown
by the total population graph). The reasons for this
could be:
 improvements in medical care - hospitals,
medicines, etc.
 improvements in sanitation and water supply
 quality and quantity of food produced rises
 transport and communications improve the
movements of food and medical supplies
 decrease in infant mortality.
7/15/2022 47
GMC 2022

Stage 3
 Birth rates now fall rapidly while death rates continue to fall.
The total population begins to peak and the population
increase slows to a constant. The reasons for this could be:
 increased access to contraception
 lower infant mortality rate means there is less need to have a
bigger family
 industrialization and mechanization means fewer laborers are
required
 the desire for material possessions takes over the desire for
large families as wealth increases
 equality for women means that they are able to follow a
career path rather than feeling obligated to have a family.
7/15/2022 48
GMC 2022

Stage 4
 Both birth rates and death rates remain
low, fluctuating with 'baby booms' and
epidemics of illnesses and disease.
 This results in a steady population.
7/15/2022 49
GMC 2022

Stage 5?
 stage 5 was not originally thought of as
part of the DTM, but some northern
countries are now reaching the stage where
total population is declining where birth
rates have dropped below death rates. One
such country is Germany, which has taken in
foreign workers to fill jobs. The UK's
population is expected to start declining by
2021.
7/15/2022 50
GMC 2022

Examples
 Population changes over time and space and the
DTM can show both of these. Examples for both of
these are shown below. Firstly, examples of
countries that can be classed as exhibiting the
population traits now, are shown as an example of
how population can change over SPACE. Secondly,
the dates the UK passed through each stage are
indicated as an example of how population in one

Population Pyramids
• A population pyramid is two back-to-back
bar graphs, one showing the number of
males and one showing females in a
particular population in five-year age groups
(also called cohorts).
• A great deal of information about the
population broken down by age and sex can
be read from a population pyramid, and this
can shed light on the extent of its
development.
– Birth rate trends
– Death rate trends
– Number of economic dependents (<15, >65)

How to read a population pyramid?
 Read the title e.g. country or city or racial
group
 Comment on general shape of the
pyramid
 Note the proportion of people in various
age groups
 Note the sex ratio
 Interpret the data

Types of Population Pyramid
1. Triangular-shaped
2. Beehive-shaped Pyramid
3. Rectangular-shaped Pyramid
Shape of pyramids is controlled by
 births,
 deaths, &
 migrations.

Reading Population Pyramids
 Shape of sides:
 Concave sides indicate a high death rate and convex sides
indicate a low death rate.
 If the population pyramid exhibits concave sides it
indicates a high death rate.

Dependency Ratio
 The working age of people varies.
 Traditionally people worked until they were 65 years
old.
 The common trend now is for people to retire closer
to 55 years of age.
 However, for statistic purposes we recognize people
between 15 and 65 as the workers of a society.
 People under 15 and over 65 are considered
dependant upon the working population.
 The dependency ratio (DR) of a population indicates
how many people are dependant upon every 100
workers.
The formula is
DR = (pop. 0-14) + (pop. 65+)*100
(pop. 15-64)

Descriptions
 Bumps in the sides:
 Irregularities in the sides indicate a demographic
anomaly.
 The 30 -50 age group in the population pyramid
represents the baby boom.
 This bump will travel upward as the baby boomers age.
 Classification:
 Indicates standard of living as described above.

Each pyramid tells a story
about the
past, present & future
of a country & its people.

Male Female
Population in millions
In this
country the
number of
people in each
age group is
about the
same.
The largest
category of
people were
born about
40 years
ago.
In this country there is a low Birth Rate
and a low Death Rate.
This population pyramid is typical of
countries in the richer parts of the world

Population in millions
Male Female
In this
country the
birth rate is
decreasing.
In the future the
elderly people will make
up the largest section
of the population in this
country.
This is happening
more and more in
many of the world’s
richer countries.

Baby boomers?
 Who are the baby boomers?
 Baby boomers are the demographic
group born during the post–World
War II baby boom, approximately
between the years 1946 and 1964.
This includes people who
are between 52 and 70 years
old in 2017, according to the U.S.
Census Bureau.
