Definition of 'Demographics'
Studies of a population based on factors such as age, race, sex, economic status, level of education, income level and employment, among others. Demographics are used by governments, corporations and non-government organizations to learn more about a population's characteristics for many purposes, including policy development and economic market research.
Demographic trends are also important, as the size of different demographic groups will change over time as a result of economic, cultural and political circumstances.
