Problems like
slum areas, polluted air and water, crime, addiction to liquor, juvenile delinquency, and prostitution, are also important subjects of study in demography. Quantitative and Qualitative Aspects: Along with the quantitative problems of population, the qualitative problems also form part of population studies.What is the social issue of demography? Contemporary demographic concerns include the “
population explosion,” the interplay between population and economic development, the effects of birth control, urban congestion, illegal immigration, and labour force statistics.
The demographic boom and uneven population growth in different regions lead to the aggravation of associated global problems, for example:
- demographic pressure on the environment;
- ethnic and intercultural problems (interethnic and intercultural conflicts);
Strong social change movements have often been influenced by demographic changes, including:
- Ending poverty and hunger
- Expanding healthcare in developing nations
- Reforming education quality and accessibility
- Championing gender and racial equality
