Demography is the scientific study of human populations, including their sizes, compositions, distributions, densities, growth, and other characteristics, as well as the causes and consequences of changes in these factors.
A census is an official count or survey of a population, typically recording various details of individuals. It provides data on population size, growth, and demographic characteristics, which are crucial for social, economic, and health planning.
Population refers to the total number of individuals or inhabitants in a particular area or country. It is a fundamental concept in demography and is often used to assess the needs and characteristics of societies.
Life expectancy is a statistical measure of how long a person or organism may live, based on the year of birth, current age, and other demographic factors, including gender. It is also an important statistic that reflects the overall quality of life and health care efficiency in a country.
Mortality refers to the state of being mortal, or susceptible to death. In a demographic context, it pertains to the number of deaths in a population, typically expressed as a rate per 1,000 or 100,000 individuals.
