One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Meaning and nature of demography

Demography is the scientific study of human populations, focusing on their size, structure, distribution and changes over time. Mastering its core concepts—population definition, demographic variables, and the methods of data collection—is essential because exam questions test both conceptual understanding and the ability to interpret demographic data.
