What Is a Demographic Profile?

Demographics is a method or science of studying population phenomena from the "quantity" aspect. Demographic statistics can reveal the regularity of demographic processes and the nature of demographic phenomena. In China, population statistics can serve to control the number of people and improve the quality of the population, so that population development is compatible with economic and social development ^[1] .

Demographic statistics are generated and developed to meet the needs of social development and state management. It is the earliest statistics in human society. In 4500 BC,

Population

Population refers to the total number of living individuals at a certain point in time and within a certain area ^[4]

Demographics is a quantitative study of various biological characteristics of the population (such as age,

The population of each country in the world is different, and the statistical methods are also strange.

Singapore distributes questionnaires on the Internet to obtain the population from feedback. Mauritania uses GPS to give points to nomads living in the desert. Fearing that foot-and-mouth disease will affect the population, Ireland has simply postponed the scheduled national census.

The United Nations Global Demographic Action 1995-2005 is ongoing. From 7 to 10 this month, statisticians from 55 countries, accounting for 3/4 of the world's population, gathered in New York to participate in a forum on census methods. In support of the forum, the United Nations conducted a survey of how countries count populations. The survey shows that developing countries are increasingly using high-tech means in demographic work.

In the 2000 census of Brazil, handheld computers and mobile phones provided statisticians with real-time data. Even people on the Amazon can register. Census Alicia Belkovich said proudly, "We can spot problems in time and improve immediately."

In India, with a population of 100 million, 600,000 rural people learned the significance of the census through television programs. In March, after three weeks of data analysis and processing, the computer obtained the national population. Indian Census Commissioner Bentya is not satisfied with this. He said the computer in New York took only 10 minutes to complete.

Turkey relies on the military to set up barricades on the streets to ensure that everyone is counted. And some other countries have to take an incentive approach. In Kyrgyzstan, people participating in the census can draw a lottery. The big prize is to get a free apartment.

Of course, the demographics of most countries are supported by the people. Hassan Ablibud, director of the Palestinian Statistical Office, said that when the first census was conducted in Palestine in 1997, the people of the country were proud to participate in the survey. In Gaza, only 18 people were not involved in the investigation.

However, politics can sometimes affect demographics. UN population experts say Damascus is reluctant to publish figures on the number of people living and working in Lebanon because of Syria's presence in Lebanon.
