Demographic growth refers to the change in population size over time due to factors such as births, deaths, and migration.
It is a key component of demographic analysis that examines the trends and patterns of population dynamics within a specific region or group.
Positive demographic growth occurs when births exceed deaths, resulting in population increase, while negative growth indicates a decline.
Understanding demographic growth is crucial for policymakers, as it influences social, economic, and political considerations, including resource allocation, labor force dynamics, and the development of policies related to healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
