Demos=people. Graphia=writing. Therefore demography is writing about or studying people.
My brother studies demography every day, he finds it very intoresting.

Demography comes from two Greek words : demos, which means people, and graphos which means to write or draw : it literally means writing about the people
although the two words are different, the semantics are the same.
Lexical semantics is a branch of semantics which deal with meanings and relations of words. This also includes the synonyms, antonyms and hyponyms of different words.
Demography is the branch of sociology which studies the characteristics of human populations.
Demography is the study of statistics such as births, deaths, incomes, or the incidence of disease, which illustrate the changing structure of human populations.
Converseness in semantics refers to a relationship between pairs of terms where one term implies the other. For example, in the converseness pair "buy" and "sell," if X buys Y, then Y is also sold by X. This relationship helps establish the semantic connection between terms in a language.

why do we need demography?
Criminal demography is the study of the characteristics and demographics of individuals involved in criminal behavior. It focuses on analyzing the trends and patterns of criminal activities within specific populations based on factors such as age, gender, socioeconomic status, and geographical location. The goal is to better understand the relationship between demographic variables and criminal behavior to inform prevention and intervention strategies.

Semantics can be used in a sentence by carefully selecting words and phrases to convey a specific meaning or to clarify the intended message. By paying attention to the nuances and connotations of language, one can use semantics to ensure clear and effective communication.
As with any difference of ideals, linguists (pragmatics) and general semantics may argue on a word or phrase if both perceive the words individually. Linguistics focuses on the structure with the sound, sight, grammatical usage and the like while the semantics are only looking at the word for its meaning. Yet it is important to understand that the semantics of a word or phrase is only a part of linguistics and an individual can be both a semanticist and a linguist.
Semantics is the study of meaning in language, including how words and sentences convey information. It explores how words relate to each other and to the concepts they represent, as well as how meaning can vary depending on context and interpretation. Semantics is concerned with understanding the underlying principles that govern the use and interpretation of language.
