The Demographic Structure of the Indian Society
In what ways formal demography is different from social demography?
Formal demography is primarily concerned with the measurement and analysis of the components of population change. Its focus is on quantitative analysis for which it has a highly developed mathematical methodology suitable for forecasting population growth and changes in the composition of the population. Social demography, on the other hand, enquires into the wider causes and consequences of population structures and change.
