Etymology
Demographer comes from the Greek parts demo- meaning 'people' and -graph meaning 'to write' or 'record', the same demo- you see in democracy and the -graph you see in photograph. So a demographer is a person who records and studies populations: they count people, check ages and where people live, and watch how these numbers change.
