Demography is the statistical study of human beings. Wikipedia defines "Demography" as "the study of statistics such as births, deaths, income, or the incidence of disease, which illustrate the changing structure of human populations." It analyses living populations and notes their changes over time and by location. "Demography encompasses the study of the size, structure, and distribution of these populations, and spatial or temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, aging, and death." In studying these changes, analysts can estimate future trends in the population. This demographic index gives us a map for the future for the clergy, elders, bishops, and people in the Canadian, British, and American churches based on the current statistics.✞
