What to Focus On

  • Demography studies population size, composition, and change.
  • Formal demography is quantitative and forecasting-oriented.
  • Social demography studies social causes and consequences of population change.

  • Indian censuses began between 1867 and 1872.
  • Decennial censuses have been conducted since 1881.
  • Seven censuses have been held in independent India since 1951.

  • Birth rate = live births per 1000 population.
  • Death rate = deaths per 1000 population.
  • Natural increase = birth rate minus death rate.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Birth rate and fertility rate mean the same thing.

Death rate and rate of natural increase are the same because both involve births and deaths.

Sex ratio means the number of men per 1000 women.

Memory Tips

Demography and its Greek origin

Formal demography versus social demography

Census as systematic enumeration

American census of 1790 and Indian censuses
