Demographischer

Demographischer is an attributive form of the German adjective demografisch, meaning related to demography. It describes aspects and phenomena connected with populations—their size, structure, and dynamics—as well as the data and methods used to study them. The term derives from Demografie, the scientific field that examines population characteristics such as age, sex, migration, fertility and mortality.

Common usages include phrases like demographischer Wandel, demographische Daten and demographische Merkmale. Demographischer Wandel refers to changes in the size and composition of a population over time, while demographische Daten and demographische Merkmale describe demographic information and characteristics used in analysis. In market research and policy planning, demographische Merkmale such as age, income, education, and household composition are used to segment audiences and forecast demand. In urban planning, demographischer Wandel shapes demand for housing, transportation, schools and healthcare services.

The word is part of a broader vocabulary surrounding population studies and statistics. It is often found in academic papers, statistical reports, government briefings, and professional analyses that address population structure, growth, aging, migration patterns and their socioeconomic effects. The inflected form demographischer appears typically before masculine singular nouns in the indefinite context (for example, ein demographischer Wandel).
