NOTES:

Demographics simplify large populations into recognizable groups for analysis, communication, planning, organization, and decision-making. Different demographic systems may emphasize different characteristics depending on purpose and context.

Large populations become easier to analyze when divided into categories. Demographics function as naming structures that transform unique individuals into identifiable population groups, allowing institutions, organizations, and systems to organize, interpret, and communicate information about collective human behavior.
