RELEVANCE OF STUDYING DEMOGRAPHY

from the population.
2. To analyze the causes and consequences
of population growth.

pattern of mortality, birth, migration, etc
4. Provides policies that enhance economic
policies.
5. To shape population future by

Intellectually, the study of demography provides the necessary
tools for planning both on state and national level so also political planning,
plan for industries, plan for law and order, education and also planning for
health. Practically, the study for demography helps an individual in
their business (i.e. marketing), also for the creation of LGAs and States and
even seats in the parliament.
In summary, the data analyses
derived from Demographic studies rely upon a specialized set of models and
methods including population, composition studies, life table analysis
stimulation and mathematical models, survival and ratio. Demography lies at the
cross-roads of several other disciplines including economics, sociology,
political science and epidemiology.
