Demography in simple terms is the science and study of populations. The three main processes by which population dynamics are researched by demographers are birth, migration, and aging (which also include death). Most of this research focuses mainly on humans. Demographic data is largely used in marketing, where it helps businesses understand the basic preferences and characteristics of their customers. With demographics, a business can realize to whom the brand appeals the most related to age, location, gender, income, and job title. This is largely seen in areas of hospitality and food industries, where different preferences are given by different layers of the population.
