Démographie historique

Démographie historique, or historical demography, studies how populations changed over time, examining factors like birth rates, death rates, migration, and population sizes throughout history. It helps us understand how events such as wars, epidemics, technological advances, and social changes impacted the demographics of societies. By analyzing historical records, researchers can identify patterns and trends that reveal the dynamics of human populations across different periods and regions, providing insights into societal development, economic conditions, and cultural transformations.
