Geography of Population

Geography of population refers to the study of how and where people are distributed across the Earth. It examines factors like population density (how many people live in a specific area), urbanization (shift from rural to city living), and demographics (age, gender, ethnicity). This field also looks at patterns of migration, reasons for population growth or decline, and the impact of geography on culture and economy. Understanding these elements helps in planning for resources, infrastructure, and services, balancing human needs with environmental concerns, and addressing social issues like overcrowding or resource allocation.
