What is Demography?
- Two words in Ancient Greek: Demos (people, society) and Grafos (writing, drawing, description)
- Defined as the study of the structure, characteristics, and changes of the population within a geographic area.
- First used by Belgian statistician Achille Guillard in 1855.
What is Population?
- The total number of individuals living in a specific area at a specific time.
- Is dynamic (constantly changing due to time and space).
Population Components
- Birth
- Death
- Migration
Basic Demographic Equation:
- Starting Population + Births - Deaths + Internal Migration - External Migration = Population
What Does Demography Research?
- Numerical size of population
- Population distribution (geographical)
- Population structure (gender, education, age)
- Population change
- Population processes (birth, death, migration effects)
What Does Demography Examine?
- Numerical changes in population
- Determinants, results, and differentiation of the changes
Demography (Technical-Formal vs Economic-Social)
- Technical-Formal: collection and analysis of demographic data, creating demographic indicators, examining relationships
- Economic-Social (Population Research): demographic phenomena, social, economic, political, biological, cultural factors
Why is Demographics Important?
- Population change impacts social, economic, and technical changes.
- Influences various areas (policy, social planning, business life, global/regional/local planning human resources).
Demography and Other Disciplines
- Demography incorporates approaches, concepts, and theories from other disciplines (economics, sociology, ecology, geography, genetics, statistics, nutrition).
Data Sources in Demography
- Population Censuses
- Population Registration Systems (birth, death, marriage, divorce)
- Demographic Research
- Regional/Local Research on Society
- Sampling Techniques (e.g., TNSA)
Population Censuses
- Ancient practice (Egypt, China, Rome, Palestine).
- Used for military, population, labor force, and taxes.
- Historically, women and children often not counted.
- Modern censuses (Sweden 1749, USA 1790, France/England 1801)
- Importance increased under UN guidance (world population counted over time).
- Now nearly universal.
Censuses Historically (Turkey)
- First census mentioned biblically.
- Turkish censuses (often every 5 years, now every 10 years)
- Address-Based Population Registration System (ADNKS)
- Conducted by TUIK.
Why is the Census Important?
- Critical data source for the entire country's population.
- Determines resources allocation for local governments.
- Used to create voter lists.
- Creates the sampling frame for research.
Problems with the Census
- Reaction to the census
- Errors (undercount/overcount, qualitatively, reporting, data transfer bias)
- High cost from large population size
Recording Systems
- Main reason: fulfilling legal rights, issue identity cards, formalizing parents, owning property, education opportunities, right to travel
- Vital Records (birth, death, marriage, migration, divorce)
- Partial Records (Social Security Institution etc.)
- Constant information collection, converted to statistics, up-to-date records for individuals.
Recording System (details)
- Separate records for each individual
- Covering everyone within limits
- Time between event and recording is short.
- Results presented regularly
Registration System in Turkey
- MERNİS since 2022 (Ministry of Interior, population, citizenship affairs)
- Computerization of population records, identity numbers
- Online information exchange between government agencies
- Address Based Population Registration System (ADNKS)
- TÜİK responsible for assigning people to addresses.
Registration System in Turkey (Immigration/Marriage/Divorce related)
- Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Labor, UN offices, related directorates
- Marriage/Divorce Records managed by TÜİK
Problems with the Census Research
- Ignoring groups (incompleteness)
- Underreporting (in rural areas)
- Gender bias
- Inadequate/unorganized migration statistics
Researches (overview)

Comparison of Demographic Data Sources
- Censuses: Information for every individual, but may lack current information, prone to sampling errors, high cost
- Recording Systems: Current information, less prone to sampling errors, but may not have info for every individual, lower cost
- Research: More information, but may have sampling errors, lower cost, usually focused on a selected population sample.
