Birth Record to Go

The demographers have a very difficult job to counsel on birth rates which imply variables for instance fertility, birth and mortality. So, it is a science which should be considered very seriously.

The first demographer is Alfred Sauvy who lived in Russia and published an important book which is used in universities by students in sociology.  Like you can read there are two parts in the word demography. There is the word “demo” which in Greek means population and “graphy” is a word which means design.

So, the way the population have children is influenced by what they want to do in the future. In ethnography of families there is what is called exogamy which is practised by noble families. This means that the nobles marry outside of their ethnic group or population to enlarge their family ties.

Therefore, when the demographers discuss about fertility, birth and mortality it is necessary to think twice. Fertility means that the population eat well in order to reproduce. That is why the mothers have to breast feed in order to give all the nutrition to their children their will need. Birth rate varies according to marriage because the model family is the one of a married couple with a child. The mortality rate is due to the fact that their diseases which are congenital or transmissible or neglects which can affect the development of the child. Most children are still not integrated so they have difficulties to have a good immune system. It’s so sad to hear that in Africa children still die of problems of hydration because of contaminated water and stomach flu. In fact, this is a problem of body circulation. The children are stuffed by their mothers who become careless by giving them contaminated water. The good news is that now population are told to wash their hands as much as possible in order to avoid diseases. This helps to stop the abuse of laxatives which in fact are a source of bacteria.
