Demography ¹ is the scientific study of human populations primarily with respect to their size, their structure ² and their development; it takes into account the quantitative aspects of their general characteristics. It is the core of the population sciences ^8★, which in the broadest sense include 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. In statistical terminology any collection of distinct elements may be called a population ³, a word that is synonymous with universe ³. However, in demographic usage, the term population ⁴ refers to all of the inhabitants ⁵ of a given area, though on occasion it may be used for part of the inhabitants only [e.g., the school-age population (cf. 346-7), the marriageable population (cf. 514-2)]. Such groups are properly called sub-populations ⁶. The term population is often used to denote more specifically the size ⁷, i.e., the total number ⁷ of the aggregate referred to in no. 101-4.

• 1. Demography, n. - demographic, adj. - demographer, n.: a specialist in demography.
