Baby-farming was a term used in Victorian England to mean the taking in of an infant for a small payment, with an understanding that nursing care would be provided; improper treatment was usually implied. Illegitimacy, and its attendant stigma, were the impetus for this practice. ...more on Wikipedia about "Baby-farming"

Bacterial growth is the process in which from a bacterial cell, two clone daughter cells are produced. Hence, through cell division, local doubling of the bacterial population occurs. However, in each generation not all bacteria survive. Hence, at best, bacterial growth is only temporarily adhering to an approximate exponential growth model. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bacterial growth"

In demography, the crude birth rate of a population is the number of childbirths per 1000 persons per year. ...more on Wikipedia about "Birth rate"

A census is the process of obtaining information about every member of a population (not necessarily a human population). It can be contrasted with sampling in which information is only obtained from a subset of a population. As such it is a method used for accumulating statistical data, and it is also vital to democracy ( voting). Census data is also commonly used for research, business marketing, and planning purposes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Census"

Among the kinds of data that national leaders need are the demographic statistics of their population. Records of births, deaths, marriages, immigration and emigration and a regular census of population provide information that is key to making sound decisions about national policy. ...more on Wikipedia about "Demographic statistics"

Demography is the study of human population dynamics. It encompasses the study of the size, structure and distribution of populations, and how populations change over time due to births, deaths, migration and ageing. Demographic analysis can relate to whole societies or to groups defined by criteria such as education, nationality, religion and ethnicity. ...more on Wikipedia about "Demography"

The (total) fertility rate of a population is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing years conforming the age-specific fertility rates of the year in which she turned fifteen. Replacement fertility is the total fertility rate at which women would have only enough children to replace themselves and their partner. By definition, replacement is only considered to have occured when the offspring reach 15 years of age. If all offspring survived to the age of 15 the replacement rate would be exactly 2, but in practice it is affected by childhood mortality. The replacement fertility rate is roughly 2.1 births per woman for most industrialized countries and has not been evaluated for poorer countries. At this rate, populations growth through reproduction will be nearly unity, but will also be affected by male-female ratios. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fertility rate"

The Food Race refers to the relationship between food supply and human population postulated by Daniel Quinn. Quinn advocates the view that human population is controlled by food supply, like all other animals. Thus, larger populations are the result of more abundant food supplies. So our response to larger population growth--intensification of cultivation--merely leads to still more population growth. Quinn compared this to the arms race in the Cold War, noting that any increase in food supply was met with a corresponding increase in population. Like Garrett Hardin, then, Quinn saw the only possible conclusions to the Food Race as either abandonment, or catastrophe. ...more on Wikipedia about "Food Race"

Human migration denotes any movement by humans from one locality to another, often over long distances or in large groups. Humans are known to have extensively migrated throughout history. This can be compared with the periodic migratory behaviour of groups of animals such as some birds and fishes (see migration). This article concentrates on the historical human migrations. ...more on Wikipedia about "Human migration"

Infant mortality is the death of infants in the first year of life. The leading causes of infant mortality are dehydration and disease. ...more on Wikipedia about "Infant mortality"

IPUMS is an acronym for the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series. The series consist of samples from American (IPUMS USA) and international (IPUMS International) census records entered into databases and made available to researchers through the World Wide Web. ...more on Wikipedia about "IPUMS"

Life expectancy is the average number of years remaining for a living being (or the average for a class of living beings) of a given age to live. Life expectancy is also called average life span or mean life span, in particular distinction to maximum life span (the life span of the most long lived members of a class of living beings). ...more on Wikipedia about "Life expectancy"

In actuarial science, a life table (sometimes called a mortality table) is basically a table which shows, for a person at each age, what the probability is that they die before their next birthday. From this starting point, a number of statistics can be derived and thus also included in the table: ...more on Wikipedia about "Life table"
