Demography and Public Health Terminology Quiz

Static demography: the study of population structure at a given time, using descriptive statistics like size, structure, and variables such as sex, age, scholarship, and work.

Dynamic demography: the study of population trends, the evolution mechanism, and prediction of population changes, focusing on natural (fertility, mortality, and migration) and migratory population movements.

Static demography sources of information: numerical and categorical data, including administrative records, sanitary records, and census data from homes and inhabitants.

Static demography census: a legal process aimed at gathering, summarizing, analyzing, and publishing demographic, economic, and social data for a country or territory, including individual, universal, simultaneous, periodic, mandatory, confidential data, and ID and personal information.

Objectives of Static demography censuses: population counting, structure and evolution knowledge, demographic analysis enablement, and planning and evaluating policy results.

Static demography surveys: obtaining information from a sample of the population and inferring the results for the entire population, with periodicity, ad hoc design, flexibility, and state or private sponsorship.

Static demography population pyramid: a double histogram displaying the age and gender distribution of a population, with intervals of 5 years, males on the left, females on the right, bottom-up order, and an open last interval.

Dynamic demography population movements: natural, including fertility, mortality, and migration, and migratory population movements, including migrations.

Static demography fertility: a key component of dynamic demography, with definitions, data sources, and indexes, including crude indicators of fertility and age-adjusted indicators of fertility, indicators of reproduction, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's Fertility Rates page.

Static demography mortality: another component of dynamic demography, with data sources and references for further study.

Static demography migration: the third component of dynamic demography, with data sources and references for further study.

Static demography population growth: the result of adding births, immigrants, and subtracting deaths and emigrants, with data sources for further study.

Demographic transition: a historical process of change in fertility and mortality rate levels, closely related to improvements in various aspects of society, including urban planning, productive systems, labor conditions, infrastructure and basic supplies, nutrition, environment, education, gender relations, and health care systems.
