5. http://populationpyramid.net/WORLD/2015/ Demography is the study of people and populations. Governments carry out a census to find out who lives in their country. They use the information to produce population structures However, they are taken at different times in different countries and often country boundaries change so it is difficult for a census to be accurate. Some countries can not afford to do a census and people do not always fill in the forms so the population of the world can only be an estimate. Demographers use census information to create population pyramids
