Course description: Demography is the scientific study of human populations primarily with respect to their size, density, composition and changes or trends that occur in them, and the social, economic, political and other consequences or implications of such changes. It is a discipline that cuts across many aspects of human development finding relevance and applications in several social science disciplines as well as in public health and medical sciences.

Demographers use statistics as a major tool in their work. In view of its broad areas of relevance in human development, graduates can work in Governmental and Non-Governmental Organizations including International Agencies such as WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, USAID, DFID and the World Bank. They can also work in products and service industries, local banks, insurance companies, manufacturing and other related companies as well as in research and academic establishments.
