Population and Demographic Futures is a chapter of Society and Human Development: a specialist sub-community with its own group, editor and research agenda. Its work starts from the cornerstone topic, demographic transitions. Demographic change is the shift in a population's size, age structure and distribution through births, deaths and migration. A chapter becomes a platform of its own only by meeting the graduation rule.

For population and demographic futures, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density and true-colour imagery with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on Latin America and the Caribbean; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.
