Demography and social statistics is a course that explores population dynamics and the quantitative methods used to analyze social phenomena. It examines population size, structure, and distribution, as well as the processes influencing these factors, such as birth, death, and migration. The course also delves into social statistics, which involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data related to various aspects of society, including education, health, employment, and income distribution. 

Students learn about demographic theories, data sources, and measurement techniques, including censuses, surveys, and vital statistics. Statistical methods such as descriptive and inferential statistics are applied to study social patterns and trends. The course emphasizes the importance of demographic and social data in policy formulation, planning, and decision-making at local, national, and global levels. 

It provides practical skills in data handling, visualization, and interpretation using statistical software. Ethical considerations in data collection and analysis are also covered to ensure responsible research practices. By the end of the course, students develop the ability to critically assess demographic trends and social indicators, making informed contributions to discussions on population issues and social development.
