Among the kinds of data that national leaders need are the Demography demographic statistics of their population. Records of births, deaths, marriages, immigration and emigration and a regular census of population provide information that is key to making sound decisions about national policy. A useful summary of such data is the population pyramid . It provides data about the sex and age distribution of the population in an accessible graphical format. Another summary is called the life table . For a cohort of persons born in the same year, it traces and projects their life experiences from birth to death. For a given cohort, the proportion expected to survive each year or decade in an abridged life table is presented in tabular or graphical form. The ratio of males to females by age indicates the consequences of differing mortality rates on the sexes. Thus, while values above one are common for newborns, the ratio dwindles until it is well below one for the older population.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A demographic or demographic profile is a term used in marketing and broadcasting , to describe a demographics demographic grouping or a market segment . This typically involves age bands as teenagers do not wish to purchase denture fixant , social class bands as the rich may want different products than middle and lower classes and may be willing to pay more and gender partially because different physical attributes require different hygiene and clothing products, and partially because of the male female mindset s . A demographic profile can be used to determine when and where advertising should be placed so as to achieve maximum results. In all such cases, it is important that the advertiser get the most results for their money, and so careful research is done to match the demographic profile of the target market to the demographic profile of the advertising medium. For instance, shortly after the cancellation of Star Trek The Original Series Star Trek in 1969, NBC s marketing department complained that was premature. They explained that their newly instituted demographic audience profiling techniques indicated that the series main young urban audience was highly desirable for advertisers. In 1971, CBS acted on their own marketing department s demographic findings about their television network s programming and canceled several series that appealed primarily to older and rural audiences in a move nicknamed the rural purge . A good way to figure out the intended demographic of a television show, TV channel, or magazine is to study the ads that accompany it. For example, in the United States the television program The Price is Right most frequently airs from 11 a.m. to Noon. The commercials on it besides the use of product placement in the show itself are often for things like arthritis Analgesic pain relievers and diaper s. This indicates ...

Orphan date February 2009 Demographic marketers use demographics in marketing research, and the assessment of the changing trends of consumer behavior . Demographics can be called a science and demographic marketers can be called scientists. A demographic is used to describe individuals who are from a particular area. It can also be used to describe individuals who would rely on purchasing a particular product or service. Using demographics, a marketing manager can try to grasp what certain people think and what they are willing to buy. By understanding how various characteristics of the population reflect their tastes, demographic marketers get an idea of the probability of the sales returns of a launched product in a given area. For any type of business that you may own, it is important to know who your customers are most likely to be. Knowing this will make it easier to effectively market your business. While a demographic analysis may seem like it may take a while and involve quite a bit of hard work, for a demographic marketer it is almost always worth it in the end.

Demographic gift is a term in demographics used to describe the initially favorable effect of falling fertility rates on the Dependency ratio age dependency ratio , the fraction of children and aged as compared to that of the employment working population . Overview Fertility declines in a population combined with falls in Mortality rate mortality rates&mdash the so called demographic transition &mdash produce a typical sequence of effects on age structures. The child dependency ratio the ratio of children to those who support them at first rises somewhat due to more children surviving, then falls sharply as average family size decreases. Later, the overall population ages rapidly, as currently seen in many developed country developed and emerging markets rapidly developing nations . Between these two periods is a long interval of favorable population pyramid age distributions , known as the demographic gift, with low and falling total dependency ratios including both children and aged persons .

For example, when China first introduced its one child policy , population growth continued regardless. Even though the number of children born reduced dramatically, the sheer number of maturing youth was significant. In 1979 when the one child policy entered into force, the number of people becoming adults was based on the number of births around 1950s, not 1979. As a result, the Chinese population maintained the same momentum of increase as for the past 20 years. It is only now that the Chinese population has reached a somewhat stabilized population growth.
