Population- Is a collective group of organisms of
the same species living in the same place at the same
time.
A population is a summation of all the organisms
of the same group or species, who live in the
same geographical area, and have the capability of
interbreeding.

Demography- it is the scientific study of human
population. It focuses on three phenomenon: change
in population, the composition of population and the
distribution of population.

Population dynamics-It is the branch of life
sciences that studies short-term and long-term
changes in the size and age composition of
populations, and the biological and environmental
processes influencing those changes.
Population Size- it refers to the number of
individuals in a population.

9. Introduction of Demography
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning

Greek words
‘demos’ meaning people and ‘graphein’ meaning
record.
It is the scientific study of human population.
Focuses its attention on three readily observable
phenomena:
change in population size (growth or decline),
the composition of population and
the distribution of population in space.
10. Introduction of Demography cont…

It deals with five “demographic processes”
Fertility, mortality, marriage, migration and social
mobility.
These five processes are continuously at work within
a population determining size, composition and
distribution.
11. Definitions of demography
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
11
Demography is a branch of science which studies the
human population and their elements. The elements
are change in size of population, structure of
population and their geographical distribution of
population.
Demography is the scientific study of human
population such as changes in population size, the
composition of the population and distribution of
population in space.
12. Demographic Cycle
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
12
Demographic cycle, or population cycle, refers to the
evolution over time of the population profile of a
country, region or other defined geographical area.
Demographic cycle describe changes in population
size and composition due to increase or decrease in
number of births and deaths.
13. Demographic Cycle
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
13
The history of world population since 1650 suggests
that there is a demographic cycle of 5 stages through
which a nation passes:
First Stage
Second Stage
Third Stage
Fourth Stage
Fifth Stage
15. Demographic Cycle cont…
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
15
i) First stage (High Stationary)
It is characterized by high birth rate and high death
rate which cancel each other. So the population
remains stationary.
India was in this stage till 1920.
16. Demographic Cycle cont…
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
16
ii) Second stage (Early Expanding)
There is a decline in death rate while the birth rate
remains unchanged. So the population expands.
Many developing countries of Asia and Africa are in
this stage.
Birth rates have increased in some of these countries
possibly as a result of improved health conditions,
and shortening periods of breast feeding.
17. Demographic Cycle cont…
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
17
iii) Third stage (Late Expanding)
Death rate declines further and birth rate begins to
fall. Yet there is an increase in population since birth
exceeds deaths.
India appears to have entered this stage. In number
of countries birth rates have decline rapidly. (e.g.
China, Singapore)

iv) Fourth stage (Low Stationary)
Is characterized by Low birth rate and low death
rate. So the population becomes stationary.
Most of the industrialized countries have gone a
demographic transition shifting from high birth and
death rates to low high birth and death rates.
Belgium, Denmark and Switzerland are in this stage.

v) Fifth stage (Declining)
Population begins to decline as birth rate is lower
than death rate.
East European countries like Germany and Hungary
are now in this stage

are graphical representations of the age and sex of a
population.
also referred to as age-sex pyramids.
Population pyramids usually have males on the left
side and females on the right.
There is also a vertical line in the middle of the graph
that separates the males from the females.

Expansive population pyramids depict
populations that have a larger percentage of people in
younger age groups.
Populations with this shape usually have high
fertility rates with lower life expectancies.
Many third world countries have expansive
population pyramids.

Constrictive population pyramids:
They are constricted at the bottom.
There is a lower percentage of younger people.
Constrictive population pyramids show declining
birth rates, since each succeeding age group is
getting smaller and smaller.
The United States has a constrictive population
pyramid.

Stationary population pyramids:
That show a somewhat equal proportion of the
population in each age group.
There is not a decrease or increase in population; it is
stable.
Austria has a stationary population pyramid.

Fertility refers to the child bearing performance and
fecundity to the child bearing capacity. Fertility is a
voluntary biological process; fecundity is an inherent
physiological capacity.
Fertility means actual bearing of children; fertility
varies between individuals depending upon their
reproductive behavior.

c)Migration
Migration is less predictable over long periods than
fertility or mortality, since it can happen in sudden
waves—for example, when refugees flee a war—or
slowly over many years.
41. Population explosion

Demography and family planning
41
Population explosion is a self-created catastrophe,
which the mankind has brought upon itself.
Population is one of the primary factor which has
brought in its way a widespread pollution of air,
water and land as well as deforestation,
desertification, accidents involving chemicals and
the danger of extinction of some plant and animal
species.

younger than this age and half are older.

The dependency ratio is a measure of the number of
dependents aged zero to 14 and over the age of 65,
compared with the total population aged 15 to 64.
This indicator gives insight into the number of
people of nonworking age, compared with the
number of those of working age.

Human population has grown very slowly for most of
its existence on earth.
Scientists currently estimate that modern human
beings (Homo sapiens) evolved roughly 130,000 to
160,000 years ago.
Through the early decades of the Industrial
Revolution, life expectancies were low in Western
Europe and the United States.

P2 = P1± (B-D) ± (I-E)
Where:
P2=Population at the later date
P1=Population at the earlier date

Demography and family planning
78
Introduction
Family planning movement started in Nepal as early
as 1959.
Nepal had already included family planning in its
national plan in 1966.
Family planning is a basic human right, recognized
by UN in 1967.
79. FAMILY PLANNING
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
79
Family planning services are designated to provide a
constellation of contraceptive method/services
that reduced:
Fertility,
Enhance maternal and neonatal health and Child
survival,
Contribute to bring about a balance in population
growth and socio- economic development
(that will help to improve their quality of life.)
80. Definition
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
80
Family planning (FP) refers to a conscious effort by a
couple to limit or space the number of children
through the use of contraceptive methods.
81. Definition

Demography and family planning
81
An Expert Committee (1971) of the WHO defined
family planning as "a way of thinking and living that is
adopted voluntarily, upon the basis of knowledge,
attitudes and responsible decisions by individuals and
couples, in order to promote the health and welfare of
the family group and thus contribute effectively to the
social development of a country”.
82. Definition

Demography and family planning
82
(A WHO expert committee in 1971) ‘Family Planning
refers to practices that help individuals and couples to
attain certain objectives’ as follows.
(a) to avoid unwanted births
(b) to bring about wanted births
(c) to regulate the intervals between pregnancies
(d) to control the time at which births occur in relation
to the ages of the parent; and
(e) to determine the number of children in the family.
83. Family planning is the Basic Human rights
1/28/2023 4:44 AM
Demography and family planning
83
The United Nations Conference on Human Rights at
Teheran in 1968 recognized family planning as a
basic human right.
The Bucharest Conference on the World Population
held in August 1974 stated in its plan of action that
“all couples and individual have basic human
right to decide freely and responsibly the
number and spacing of their children and to
have the information, education and means
to do so.“
