Question

Imagine you are a demographer, a person who studies the trends and statistics associated with population changes. Consider the information a census can reveal about a population. In particular, what could a census show about population growth? How might you, as a demographer, view and use the information found in a census report?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Based on what I have learnt in both Social Studies and Geography, demographic charts can reveal how a government should spend their finances whether it is on:

1. Better educational or health facilities
2. Creation of employment
3. Use of land
4. Housing for the socially disadvantaged
5. Students to benefit from school feeding programmes
6. Amount of finance set aside for social welfare.

In my opinion, this may vary from country to country.

Answer 2

Answer:

The information gathered during a census provides vital data about population growth and the trends associated with a given population. For example, census information can show which segments of a population are expanding or contracting over time. It can also give us an idea of the size of the overall population of a city or country. I could compare a recent census to historical census data to shed light on the population growth rate. I could also use census information to paint an accurate report on the noticeable changes and trends taking place in a given population. Without a census report, it would be more difficult to analyze and explain the changes and trends associated with a population.
