Summary

 Statistics of the existing population are called demographics, and demography studies temporal and spatial changes in population size, structure, distribution, and birth migration.These studies play an important role in understanding population changes, population movements, and estimating the needs of the labor force.Statistical charts are also provided for statistics and conjectures of these probabilities.The birth rate, mortality rate, natural population growth rate, fertility rate, etc. are all statistically distributed.These statistical charts also show the economic development and cultural prevalence patterns of a country or region.Birth rates are lower in the more developed regions for reasons of cultural education and upbringing costs, with the highest in poor regions of the world.The birth rate focuses on the present while the fertility rate focuses on the future.There are also many other demographic factors, including differences in gender ratios, the composition of ethnic groups and changes in migration.

About the points I learned

Demographic statistics do not only measure the quantitative changes in the population, but also reflect relevant economic developments and highlight cultural differences.For example, in surveys of gender ratios, the proportion of men in Buddhist areas tends to be higher.You can understand the present and guess the future through statistics of the data.

Discussion 

Is there any effective solution to the problem of uneven regional population growth?

The “Why Wikipedia” video explains that Wikipedia is driven by a radical idea: anyone can edit. This openness has obvious risks, but surprisingly, it works. Why? Because Wikipedians follow a core principle called “good faith.” The idea is that editors assume others are acting with good intentions. They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings. In the Foreword, Lawrence Lessig praises Wikipedia as an ...

China and Globalization The relationship between China and globalization is one of the most significant themes in 21st-century international politics, economics, and cultural exchange. As the world's second-largest economy and the largest developing country, China plays multiple roles in the globalization process: as a beneficiary, a driver, and a participant in shaping the rules.   Historical Background   Reform and Opening-Up & Globalization   China's adoption of the reform and opening-up policy in 1978 marked the beginning of its full integration into the globalization process. [1]   By introducing foreign investment and joining international economic organizations (such as the World Trade Organization), China gradually transformed from an agriculture-based nation into a global manufacturing hub.   Accession to the WTO   In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) [2] , a critical milestone in the globalization process.
