demografik

Demografik is a term used to describe things related to demography, the statistical study of populations and their changes. In several languages, notably Indonesian and Malay, demografik functions as the equivalent of the English “demographic” and is used to describe population attributes such as age, sex, income, education, ethnicity, and migration status.

In English-language contexts, the standard term is “demographic.” Demografik may appear in multilingual texts, data dashboards, or branding, and is commonly found in technical or regional analyses to indicate demographic attributes.

Applications include market segmentation, urban and regional planning, public health, education planning, labor market analysis, and electoral research. Data sources typically include censuses, vital statistics, population registers, and large-scale surveys; administrative records may supplement or replace survey data in some settings.

Analytical methods cover population structure and dynamics such as age and sex composition, growth rates, fertility and mortality trends, and migration patterns. Tools include population pyramids, cohort-component projections, and demographic indices.

Limitations involve data quality, timeliness, sampling bias, privacy and ethical concerns, and challenges in cross-country comparability and data harmonization.
