Question

Which topics does a demographer explore? Check all that apply.

birth and death rates
economic practices and policies
population density of certain areas
laws and local government systems
patterns of migration to certain areas
different types of habits and behavior

Answer 1

A demographer primarily explores the following topics:

- **Birth and death rates**
- **Population density of certain areas**
- **Patterns of migration to certain areas**

The other topics, while potentially relevant to understanding social conditions and influences on populations, are not central focuses of demographic study:

- **Economic practices and policies** (more related to economics and sociology)
- **Laws and local government systems** (more related to political science)
- **Different types of habits and behavior** (more related to sociology and psychology)

So, the correct answers are:

- Birth and death rates
- Population density of certain areas
- Patterns of migration to certain areas
