What are Demographic Methods? Demographic methods use data such as annual totals of births and deaths, and an estimate of initial population size, to infer refined demographic statistics—life expectancy, gross and net reproduction ratios, and even population age structures.

Rate construction, standardization, the life table, stable population models, migration models, population estimation and projection, measures of concentration and dispersion, measures of family formation and dissolution.
Basic measures and models used in
demographic research. Sources and quality of
demographic data. Rate construction, standardization, the life table, stable population models, migration models, population estimation and projection, measures of concentration and dispersion, measures of family formation and dissolution.Among the most widely used
methods are systematic sampling, stratification, multi- stage (cluster) sampling, and probability proportional to size sampling.Source materials used in the
study of population; standard
procedures for the measurement of fertility, mortality, natural increase, migration, and nuptiality; and uses of model life tables and stable population analysis and other
techniques of estimation when faced with inaccurate or incomplete data are studied.
