  • 101-1 note 4. adjectivally, I didn't know that this was a word.--Stan BECKER 17:23, 24 September 2014 (CEST)
It is the core of population sciences 8★ in the broader sense to which belong interdisciplinary fields such as economic demography (104-1), social demography (104-2), population genetics (104-4), historical demography (102-1), mathematical demography (102-6) as well as contributions from the law, medicine, epidemiology (423-6), sociology, psychology, geography and philosophy.(to be revised) --Nicolas Brouard 10:18, 6 August 2012 (CEST)
  • In the core of the population sciences. Double checked --Herbert SMITH 17:19, 30 November 2012 (CET)
  • 102-5 When I learned the distinction from Phil Hauser and Don Bogue at U Chicago, it was that demographic analysis treats the relationships between the demographic variables themselves (e.g. stationary and stable pop) while pop studies treats the relationship between demographic variables and socio-economic, cultural, etc. variables.

It does not seem right to call the first 'pure' as if the second is 'impure' in any sense.--Stan BECKER 17:26, 24 September 2014 (CEST)

  • 102-6 and 102-9 And demo transition is a theory but not theoretical demography which is problematic. Do you want me to get the quote from Hauser's book or wherever? OK, now I see you have this distinction (formal demo vs. pop studies) later in the para. Can we equate formal demo and demo analysis then?--Stan BECKER 17:31, 24 September 2014 (CEST)
This study can focus on the current demographic situation 8★ or current demographic conditions 8★, ie the population change and its indicators during a short and recent period. (to be revised) --Nicolas Brouard 13:00, 6 August 2012 (CEST)
The trilingual demographic dictionary English - French - Arabic of 1988 uses demographic situation*.--Nicolas Brouard 12:14, 6 August 2012 (CEST)

The trilingual demographic dictionary English - French - Arabic of 1988 uses disturbing phenomenon*. --Nicolas Brouard 13:19, 6 August 2012 (CEST)
and isolates the effects of each demographic variable from the others that are named, in that case, disturbing phenomena 3★. (to be revised) --Nicolas Brouard 13:41, 6 August 2012 (CEST)
Fields of research and methodology are even more intertwined in the case of demography and human geography 7★. It is also the case for biometry 6 or biometrics 6 and epidemiology 8★ which deal with the application of statistical methods to all forms of biological and medical research.
