One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Meaning and scope of demography

Demography is the scientific study of human populations, focusing on size, structure, distribution, and change over time. Mastering its core concepts—population definition, demographic variables, and the analytical tools used—helps students interpret census data, forecast trends, and solve real‑world problems, all of which are central to the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
