Population Dynamics and Demography Concepts

The video tutorial covers key concepts in demography, including the difference between population and settlement, vegetative growth, migration, and demographic transition. It explains the phases of demographic transition and their economic impacts, discusses age pyramids, and reviews major demographic theories such as Malthusian, Reformist, and Neo-Malthusian perspectives.
