The study of populations, including their size, structure and transformations. Overview of population processes: How populations grow and change over time - fertility, mortality, and migration.

Demography deals with human populations; the statistical analysis of births, deaths, migrations, disease, fertility, growth and economic issues, as illustrating the conditions of life in communities.

“Social” demography is an area of inquiry which seeks to understand the causes and consequences of population and demographic change by examining sociological and also economic variables.

Connections: Demography and Sociology in Twentieth Century Canada
Sylvia T. Wargon
Abstract: Demography can be shown to have benefited the conduct of sociological research, and the sociology departments in Canadian universities housing demography programs.

Implications of economic reform and spatial mobility for fertility in Vietnam
MICHAEL J. WHITE, YANYI K. DJAMBA & DANG NGUYEN ANH
Abstract. Vietnam has registered a dramatic decline in fertility. Many observers believe that government policies adopted in the 1980s have contributed to lower fertility. This article focuses on the implications of the Doi Moi program of market reforms on fertility, taking into account the influences of migration and population policy.

"Europe, Africa, and International Migration: An Uncomfortable Triangle of Interests" - Kimberly A. Hamilton - Arguing that research on migration and the state has focused primarily on receiving states, this paper places sending and receiving states in a dynamic historical context within which states strive to protect political, economic, and socio-cultural interests. - pstc.brown.edu/papers/wp-1997/97-02ab.html

War, Famine, and Female Migration in Ethiopia, 1960 - 1989
Betemariam Berhanu and Michael White - Brown University.
Few other events disrupt the social order as much as do civil war and famine. Their catastrophic nature compromises social scientists’ ability to measure and understand them as the investigator often must work with piecemeal archival, journalistic, or eyewitness accounts.
Our concentration is on demographic data and the demographic outcome (population redistribution) in order to identify the social processes linked to the observed demographic behavior.
