Demographic Studies

Why it matters

• Provides the empirical evidence base required for evidence-based policy formulation and resource allocation.
• Enables the identification of population trends such as aging, urbanization, and shifts in the dependency ratio.
• Facilitates long-term socio-economic planning by projecting future requirements for infrastructure, healthcare, and education.

How it is asked

Focus on the application of demographic data in public policy, the demographic dividend, and the intersection of population dynamics with sustainable development goals.
