Week 2: Major Sources of Population Data
The most important problem that the social scientists are facing now days is the collection of the accurate, reliable and relevant data. Basically, the subject matter of the population geography is so vast so that’s why the population geographers require large variety and amount of data which pertains to all the attributes of the population.
The primary sources of the population data on the population size, characteristics and demographic structure are the census, projections, the registrations, migration reports and the surveys.

In the regard of secondary sources for the collection of population data the United Nation Organization itself is the biggest producer of the Population data.
