What is demography?

Summary

When a person explains a global event, demography is useful.
 Demography depends on large data sets. Developing countries are hard to get demographic data. 
Because demography is sensitive to population numbers, demographers focus on specific indicators of population change.
 In demography, fertility is also important. A strong predictor of fertility is the level of education of women.
 In general, the lower the education level of women, the higher the fertility rate. Also, demography is interested in mortality.
This article shows the population change due to food availability. This article also shows the problem of overpopulation.
This article shows the explanation of urbanization and the economic and environmental effects of urbanization.

Mention & Question

I am interested in population issues.
 Today, most developed countries have serious population problems.
 It is a lowbrith and aging problem. This problem causes many problems.
 Looking at the graph of this problem, young people will continue to decline. And the old people will continue to increase, and later they will suffer a serious shortage of hands.
 We must strive to solve this problem. 
What do you think about this problem? What is the solution to this problem?
