Demographic economics or population economics is the application of economic analysis to demography, the study of human populations, including size, growth, density, distribution, and vital statistics.[1][2]
Aspects of the subject include
- marriage and fertility[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
- the family[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
- divorce[18][19][20]
- morbidity[21] and life expectancy/mortality[22][23][24]
- dependency ratios[1][3][25][26][27]
- migration[28][29][30]
- population growth[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]
- population size[39][40][41]
- public policy[1][42][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]
- the demographic transition from "population explosion" to (dynamic) stability[49] or decline.[50][51][52]
Other subfields include measuring value of life[53][54] and the economics of the elderly[55][56][57] and the handicapped[58][59][60] and of gender,[61][62][63] race, minorities, and non-labor discrimination.[64][65] In coverage and subfields, it complements labor economics[66][67] and implicates a variety of other economics subjects.[68][69][70]
Subareas
The Journal of Economic Literature classification codes are a way of categorizing subjects in economics. There, Demographic Economics is paired with Labor Economics as one of 19 primary classifications at JEL: J.[71] It has 8 subareas, which are listed below with JEL-code links to corresponding available article-preview links of The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics (2008) Online:
- JEL: J10 (all) – General
- JEL: J11 – Demographic Trends and Forecasts
- JEL: J12 – Marriage; Marital Dissolution; Family Structure
