Demography, literally the study of people, addresses the size, distribution, composition, and density of populations, and considers the impact the drivers which mediate\u003cbr\u003ethese will have on both individual lives and the changing structure of human populations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction \u003c\/em\u003e considers the way in which the global population has evolved over time and space.
