Population Geography and Demography
Bookmark this page

• Population Geography is the study of spatial variations in distribution, density, composition and growth of human numbers on earth.
• It is important because it links all other aspects of geography together.

Demography

• Demography is the study of population characteristics.
• It is significant because
  1. There are more people living today than any other time in history.
  2. There's been a population explosion since World War 2.
  3. There is an inverse relationship between population growth and resources i.e. there are too many people in places without enough resources to support them and too few people in areas with over abundant resources
