    Solution

    The word Demography has been derived from the Greek words ‘Demos’ and ‘Graphy’ which mean 'Population' and ‘Science’. Thus, demography is the scientific study of human population. The three components of population change viz. (i) Birth (ii) Death and (iii) Migration are core to the domain of population studies. Demography also deals with associated social factors such as age, sex, marital status, occupation, literacy etc. for enabling a holistic understanding of demographic change.
