This document provides an overview of demography and population studies. It defines demography as the statistical study of human populations, examining their size, structure and changes over time and space. Key points include:
- Demography analyzes population dynamics like birth, death, and migration and their influence on society. It uses data from government censuses and registrations.
- A nation typically progresses through five stages of a demographic cycle from high stationary population to declining population.
- India has over 1.3 billion residents and is projected to surpass China as the world's most populous country by 2027. The UN expects the global population to increase by 2 billion by 2050.
- Demography
Demography as the statistical study of human population with regard to their size & structure, their composition by sex, age, marital status and ethnic origin, and the changes to these population, like changes in their birth rates, death rates and immigration.
Demography is the branch of social size, structure, which deals with the study of size, structure and distribution of populations, along with the spatial and temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, ageing and death.
In demography the following three elements of population are given special attention:
Change in the size of population (increase or decrease)
Structure of population (on the basis of sex or age groups)
Geographical distribution of population (on the basis of state or territory).

Rate measures the occurrence of some particular event in a population during a given period of time. It indicates the change in some event that take place in a population over a period of time like death rate or birth rate.A ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.
Population explosion is the phenomenon of the size of a population tending to a very large number in a finite interval of time is called population explosion i.e., rapid increase in population for a long time may be termed as "population explosion".
Birth rate is much higher than the death rate for long time may lead to population explosion.
The literal meaning of population is "the whole number of people or inhabitants in a country or region".
The main factors affecting the population change are the birth rate, death rate and migration.
Migration is the number of people moving in (immigration) or out (emigration) of a country, place or locality.
The population change is calculated by the formula:
Population change = (Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration)
Population explosion or overpopulation refers to a condition where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat.

What Is Demography? Introduction to DemographyVaibhav verma
What Is Demography?
Demography is the scientific study of human populations.
The term itself was coined in 1855 by Achille Guillard, who used it in the title of his book Éléments de Statistique Humaine ou Démographie Comparée.
The word he invented is a combination of two Greek words: demos, which means people, and graphein, which means to write about a particular subject (in this instance, population).
Modern demography is the study of the determinants and consequences of population change and is concerned with virtually everything that influences or can be influenced by these following factors.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
ICH Guidelines for Pharmacovigilance.pdfNEHA GUPTA
The "ICH Guidelines for Pharmacovigilance" PDF provides a comprehensive overview of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines related to pharmacovigilance. These guidelines aim to ensure that drugs are safe and effective for patients by monitoring and assessing adverse effects, ensuring proper reporting systems, and improving risk management practices. The document is essential for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory authorities, and healthcare providers, offering detailed procedures and standards for pharmacovigilance activities to enhance drug safety and protect public health.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. Introduction
India is the world's 7th largest country by area with
more than 1.3 billion residents.
Demography is the statistical study of human
populations. Demography examines the size,
structure, and movements of populations over space
and time.
Demographers gather data mainly through
government censuses and government registries of
births and deaths.
Demography is derived out of two Greek words,
demos meaning people and graphic meaning to
describe and thus is known as the study or description
of the population.
3. Definition
Demography is the study of human populations –
their size, composition and distribution across space
– and the process through which populations
change.
Births, deaths and migration are the big influencers
of demography, jointly producing population stability
or change.
Apart from demographic concerns, study of human
population also provides age specific data for
planning, scientific, technical and commercial
purposes.
4. Demography studies the patterns and causes of
the changes in size, composition and distribution
of population. It studies the influence of these
changes upon different aspects of society. It studies
the birth, mortality, marriage, migration and
urbanization etc.
5. Demography refers to the systematic, statistical
study and analysis of the population.
It tries to understand the dynamics, trends, and
processes of the population by focusing its attention
on certain demographic processes such as birth,
migration, aging, and death.
These processes contribute to the population
change and the trends that we find in the population
such as the sex ratio, which is the number of
females per 1000 males and other such trends.
6. Demographic cycle
There is a demographic cycle of 5 stages through
which a nation passes.
First stage (High stationary): This stage is
characterized by a high birth rate and high death rate
which cancel each other and the population remains
stationary. Till 1920, India was in this stage.
Second stage (Early expanding): The death rate
begins to decline while the birth rate remains
unchanged. As the birth rates remain high, the
population starts to grow rapidly.
8. Third stage (Late expanding)- Death rate declines
still further and birth rate tends to fall, but population
tends to grow as birth rate supersedes the death
rates, but rates of population growth decelerates.
Fourth stage (Low stationary)- This stage is
characterized by low birth and low death rate with
the result that the population becomes stationary.
Most industrialized countries have gone through a
demographic transition from a high birth and high
death rates to low birth and low death rates.
Fifth stage (Declining): Population begins to
decline because birth rate is lower than death rate.
9. Nature of Demography
The scientific nature of demography is pointed out by
“Irene Taeuber” that the improved data, new
techniques and precise measurement of the
demographic transition has become science rather
than literature.
Grauman also emphasized that demography is both
abstract science and applied technology.
Today demography is using scientific methods and
the most important of which his demographic
analysis.
Agarwal Said that, demography deals with
population statistics while population studies deal
with analytical interpretation of population dynamics
and composition which cover a wide area.
10. Objectives of demography
To achieve knowledge about the size, composition,
organization and distribution of the population.
To describe the past evolution present distribution
and future changes in the population of an area.
To enquire the trends of population and its
relationships with the different aspects of social
organization in an area.
To protect the future demographic evaluation and its
probable consequences.
11. World population trends:
World Population Prospects 2019: Highlights
According to World Population Prospects 2019:
Highlights projected by United Nations, the world’s
population is expected to increase by 2 billion
persons in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion
currently to 9.7 billion in 2050.
12. Nine countries will make up more than half the
projected population growth between now and
2050.
The largest increases in population between 2019
and 2050 will take place in: India, Nigeria, Pakistan,
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, the
United Republic of Tanzania, Indonesia, Egypt and
the United States of America (in descending order of
the expected increase). Around 2027, India is
projected to overtake China as the world’s most
populous country.
13. Demographic profile of India:
Population of India is projected to 1.37 billion in 2019. India is
the second most populated country of the world after China
(1.43 billion people in 2019). According to world population
prospects 2019 by UN, around 2027, India is projected to
overtake China as the world’s most populous country. India is
expected to add nearly 273 million people between 2019 and
2050.
At the turn of the twentieth century, population of India was
only around 238.4 million increased by more than five times
in a period of 110 years to reach 1210 million at 2011 and
increased by 3.35 times since independence.
The population of India, at 1210.2 million in census 2011, is
almost equal to the combined population of U.S.A.,
Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan put
together (1214.3 million)
Uttar Pradesh (200 million) is the most populous State in the
country - population is more than the population of Brazil
14. Scope of Demography:
The scope of demography is very wide.
1. Subject Matter of Demography.
The study of demography encompasses the following:
a. Size and Shape of Population:
Generally, the size of population means the total number
of persons usually residing in a definite area at a definite
time. The size and shape of population of any region,
state or nation are changeable.
It is because every country has its own unique customs,
specialities, social-economic conditions, cultural
atmosphere, moral values, and different standards for
acceptance of artificial means of family planning and
availability of health facilities, etc.
15. b. Aspects Related to Birth Rate and Death Rate:
Birth rate and death rate are the decisive factors that
influence the size and shape of the population and
therefore their importance in population studies is
crucial.
In addition to these, factors like marriage rate, belief
regarding social status and marriage, age of
marriage, orthodox customs related to marriage,
early marriage and its effects on the health of the
mother and the child, child infanticide rate, maternal
death, still birth, resistance power, level of medical
services, availability of nutritious food, purchasing
power of the people, etc. also affect the birth and
death rate.
16. c. Composition and Density of Population:
In the subject matter of demography, the study of
composition and density of population is important.
In the composition of population factors like the sex
ratio, race wise and age- group wise size of
population, the ratio of rural and urban population,
distribution of population according to religion and
language, occupational distribution of population,
agricultural and industrial structure and per sq. km.
density of population are very important.
17. d. Socio-Economic Problems:
Out of the many problems relating to population
growth, the effects of high density due to
industrialization in the urban areas are of more
importance as they affect the socio-economic life of
the people. Problems like slum areas, polluted air
and water, crime, addiction to liquor, juvenile
delinquency, and prostitution, are also important
subjects of study in demography.
18. e. Quantitative and Qualitative Aspects:
Along with the quantitative problems of population,
the qualitative problems also form part of population
studies. Moreover, the study of demography includes
the availability of physicians in the total population,
number of hospitals, the number of beds in hospitals,
expectation of life at birth, daily availability of
minimum calories, resistance power, advertisement
of family planning programme and its development,
the changes brought in the attitudes of people
regarding child birth and adequate medical facility for
delivery, etc.
19. 2. Distribution of Population:
Population studies include the following:
(a) How people are distributed among and within continents,
world regions and developed and underdeveloped
countries?
(b) How their numbers and proportions change?
(c) What political, social and economic causes bring changes
in the distribution of population. Within a country, it also
includes the study of distribution of population in rural and
urban areas, fanning and non-farming communities, working
classes, business communities, etc.
Migration plays an important role in the distribution of
population and supply of labour.
Urbanisation is another factor in the distribution of population
within the country.
20. 3. Theoretical Models:
There are vast theoretical aspects of population
studies which include the various theories of
population propounded by sociologists, biologists,
demographers and economists, and theories of
migration and urbanisation.
4. Practical Aspects:
Practical aspects of population studies relate to the
various methods of measuring population changes
such as the census methods, age pyramids,
population projections, etc.
21. 5. Population Policy:
Population policy is an important subject of
demography especially in the context of developing
countries. It includes policies for population control,
and family planning strategies; reproductive health,
maternal nutrition and child health policies; policies
for human development of different social groups,
etc., and the effects of such policies on the total
population of the country.
22. 6. Micro vs Macro Study:
The true scope of demography relates to whether it is a
micro or macro study.
Micro Demography:
Micro demography is the narrow view of population
studies. Among others, Hauser and Duncan include the
study of fertility, mortality, distribution, migration, etc. of
an individual, a family or group of a particular city or area
or community.
Macro Demography:
A majority of writers take the macro view of population
studies and include the qualitative aspects of
demography. To them, demography includes the
interrelationships between population and social,
economic and cultural conditions of the country and their
effects on population growth.
23. 7. Demography as a Science:
Before studying whether demography is a science, it
is essential to know what science is and to what
extent the characteristics of science are applicable to
demography.
(i) It must be a systematised body of knowledge;
(ii) It must have its own laws or theories;
(iii) They can be tested by observation and
experimentation;
(iv) They can make predictions;
(v) They can be self-corrective; and
(vi) Have universal validity.
24. Demography possesses all the above noted elements
of a science which can be described as under:
1. It is a systematised body of knowledge in which facts
are studied and analysed in a systematic manner.
2. It has its own theories like the Malthusian Theory, the
theory of Demographic Transition, etc.
3. These theories have been tested on the basis of
observation.
4. Demography can make predictions on the basis of
cause and effect relationships. It can predict about
changes in population.
5. Demography is self-corrective in nature. It goes on
revising its conclusions in the light of new facts based on
observations.
6. The principles of demography have universal validity
25. Importance of Demography:
With the majority of developing countries facing
population explosion, the study of population and its
problems has become very important in every
sphere of an economy.
(1) For the Economy:
The study of demography is of immense importance
to an economy. Population studies help us to know
how far the growth rate of the economy is keeping
pace with the growth rate of population.
26. (2) For Society:
Population studies have much importance for the society.
When population is increasing rapidly, the society is
faced with innumerable problems. Shortages of basic
services like water, electricity, transport and
communications, public health, education, etc. arise.
(3) For Economic Planning:
Data relating to the present trend in population growth
help the planners in formulating policies for the economic
plan of the country. They are kept in view while fixing
targets of agricultural and industrial products, of social
and basic services like schools and other educational
institutions, hospitals, houses, electricity, transport, etc.
27. (4) For Administrators:
Population studies are also useful for administrators
who run the government. In under-developed
countries, almost all social and economic problems
are associated with the growth of population. The
administrator has to tackle and find solutions to the
problems arising from the growth of population.
(5) For Political System:
The knowledge of demography is of immense
importance for a democratic political system. It is on
the basis of the census figures pertaining to different
areas that the demarcation of constituencies is done
by the election commission of a country.
