Demographic Analysis Flashcards
From the Greek language, ___ means description of people.
* scientific study of human population primarily with respect to size,
structure and development.
* concerned with current size and characteristics of human population,
how they were attainted and how they are changing.
DEMOGRAPHY
represents the
starting point for planning at
all scales
Demography or population
studies
Provides guidelines for deciding
total land requirements and the
basis of land between various
competing land uses
Demography or population studies
refers to the total number of individuals in a territory at a specified time.
POPULATION
basis for determining
whether the level of public services like
schools, health centers, recreational facilities,
Population
dictates the policy for most of
the human settlements needs
Population make-up and distribution
- Generates relevant population data in a specific area
- Involves the determination of present trends governing changes
in population statistics as well as future population shifts in a
given area - Can readily be accessed from the National Census conducted
nationwide at regular five-year intervals
DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
In undertaking demographic analysis, three aspects of the population must be
studied:
- Size
- Distribution
- Characteristics
Fundamental Demographic Methods
Treat the population as a whole
without disaggregation with
respect to age, sex or other
characteristics.
Trend Models
Fundamental Demographic Methods
Treat a given population as an
aggregate of the various groups, and
the evolution of the population
results (in part) from the interaction
of these groups
Composition Models
Methods of Population
Projection
Uses mathematical formulae
Mathematical Method
Methods of Population
Projection
Projects future population
based on economic conditions
Economic Method
Methods of Population
Projection
Projects population by demographic
components
Component or Cohort-Survival
Method
SOURCES OF POPULATION CHANGE
1.Fertility
2.Mortality
3.Migration
refers to the live births that occur within a
population.
FERTILITY
refers to the number of births divided by the midyear population, usually expressed in terms of thousands. It is the simplest and most commonly used index of fertility.
Crude Birth Rate (CBR)
Crude Birth Rate (CBR) formula
CBR = (B/P)* 1000
B = no of births in given year
P = total mid yr popu of same year
Total Mid-year Population (July 1)
Pt = Po (1 + r/100)t *small t
P2021 = P2020 (1+ r/100) *small 0.5
Where:
Po = pop at an earlier period
Pt = unknown pop or to be estimated
1.0 = constant
r = annual population growth rate
t = time interval between Po and Pt
refers to the occurrence of deaths in a population.
MORTALITY
is a rough measure of mortality. It refers to the number of deaths per 1,000 population.
Crude Death Rate (CDR)
Crude Death Rate (CDR) formula
CDR= (D/P) * 1000
Rate of population increase in a given period
due to births and deaths
Rate of Natural Increase (RNI)
Rate of Natural Increase (RNI) formula
RNI = (CBR - CDR)
Geographic movement of people across a specified
boundary for the purpose of establishing a new
permanent or semi-permanent residence
MIGRATION
