What are demographic changes?

Demographic trends describe the changes in demographics in a population over time. For example, the average age of a population may increase over time. It may decrease as well. Certain restrictions may be set in place changing those numbers. For instance in China with the one child policy. Worldwide, the number of people 65 or older is increasing faster than ever before. Most of this increase is occurring in developed countries. In the United States the percentage of people 65 or older increased from 4 percent in 1900 to about 13 percent in the late 1990s. ...

What was the US population in 1877?

Men to women ratio in the US?

Answer #1. for every man is 4 women.A lot of men died from violence, diseases.Thats why in most cultures men are polygamous.Like for examples:Mormons,Muslims,Africans,Hindus e.t.c.

Answer #2. The person who wrote the statistic in answer #4 was very wrong, and clearly did no research, relying instead on ideology.

Yes, there are more adult women than adult men, but the difference is not very large at all. True, more men die from violence than women, and there are likely more genetic diseases for men because of their XY chromosome, but these do not kill enough to fit the original answerer's claims.

Certainly some cultures have polygamy, but "most"? I'd need to see real numbers to believe that. The biggest culture is that in China, and I am not aware of polygamy there (though there may been in the past for men of very high status). In North America, there is a new movement toward polyamorous families, in which there could be 3 women and a man, or 2 men and a woman, or 2 of each... any combination of loving adults that is not restricted to one partner of each sex.
