Demography is the systematic study of population. The origin of the word Demography is from a Greek word 'Demos' means people and 'graphien' means descriptive science. Therefore Demography refers to a systematic, descriptive and scientific study of people and various related aspects. Demographic data are important for the planning and implementation of state policies, particularly for economic development and general public welfare.
